Volition

The plot twists in this movie are so obvious and unappetizing that you couldn't miss them if you tried.

Spend an evening sweating alongside McMorran's character, and congratulate yourself on a summer night well done.

The film basically requires one giant leap of faith to work at all. Fortunately, the Smith brothers' script is succinctly propulsive enough to make that easy.

The sort of endlessly twisty, mind-bending puzzle of a film that will make you question your cognitive abilities should you fail to keep up.

A sci-fi film noir about the implications of knowing the future, and the motivation to change it. Tense, sharply written, and a very satisfying watch.

Teases out the thrills and the head-scratching in equal measure, allowing for a film made up of fragments, to come together to form one fascinating mosaic.

Volition has actual emotional stakes. It's not just a genre exercise. We want to see James live to love another day.

A loopy film.

An overly ambitious film that largely manages to meet its lofty goals despite a shaky foundation.

The film works overall with some great scenes here and there, but the story and its twists and turns may be a bit over-complicated.
