A good movie. Not a waste of time, enjoable, and very twisting ending which gave it the push from 3 stars to 4 stars!

What Parents Need to Know
About Next
Parents need to know that, like most action thrillers, this movie has several violent scenes: An international terror syndicate is responsible for blowing up a victim, launching a nuclear missile, and slitting the throat of anyone in their way. Nicolas Cage's character gets involved in several fights, and the FBI and the terrorists display enough ammo to fill the national armory. While there's no real gore (or blood, for that matter), the images are still disturbing. There's only one love scene, but there's a lengthy scene preceding it with Jessica Biel wrapped in a towel. Thanks to Biel's popularity and Cage's action cred, expect teens to want to see it, even though it's not being marketed as a teen film.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about other time-bending movies and TV shows. Are movies that play with time cool or frustrating? If you could look into the future, would you use the information to make money or stop crime? Families can also discuss why so many thrillers feature nuclear terrorist threats. Is that the ultimate danger to today's society? What other hazards can you think of? And why are terrorists almost always portrayed as foreign agents?

Boy that Nick Cage is Very Smooth!
By far, one of the best movies I have seen- ever! I rank this movie high on creativity, special effects-(that don't look fake), and personally I am hoping for a sequel. The acting by both Cage and Jessica B. kept me interested throughout the entire film. Cool story-line and ok to watch with older kids. No unnecessary inappropriate activity, just a great movie-!! No falling asleep on this one!:)

GREAT ACTION FOR 13+
i loved this movie! it has the perfect combination of explosions, shootings, suspense, and more to keep you glued to your seat. i overall loved the movie, but the ending was just dumb. all of a sudden it just ended. the swearing is mostly b---h, s--t, bulls--t, etc. one in one scene a character says motherf- and then it switched to the next scene. if you like Nicholas Cage, Jullianne Moore, the movies Chronicles of Riddick, Speed, etc. you will definately enjoy this movie.

Almost PG.
This would probably be a PG movie if it weren't for one action sequence that involves a train, a car, and a bunch of falling logs (very cool scene though) and the shooting and explosions at the end. I didn't exactly like the ending, left you hanging, but it was very good overall.

Decent Movie
Nothing special but entertaining.

Alternate ending?
Don't see this movie if you don't like tidy endings...you have to use your thinking cap and imagination a little bit. It's regular action, suspense fare, entertaining enough.
