After his niece (Storm Reid), with whom he shared a close
relationship, is murdered, a police detective (David Oyelowo) is startled to
receive a series of phone calls from her. Eventually piecing together the fact
that she is communicating with him from a different time period -- two weeks
before her death -- he works with her to prevent the fatal crime from ever
taking place. Initially intriguing but ultimately illogical, director and
co-writer Jacob Estes' thriller becomes unmanageably complex, confusing and
implausible. While underlying values are sound, bloody images and vulgar talk
suggest an older audience.
Watch out for: Considerable violence and gore, a narcotics theme, a
couple of mild oaths, a few rough and several crass terms.
