Just saw this and it was not at all what I was expecting. In a very good way. I don't want to spoil anything at all, so has anyone else seen it that wants to discuss it with me?

Have not seen it, but Dam-sel did. She mentioned that Piper Perabo, the actress from TV spy drama Covert Affairs was in it...and at times wore considerably less than in her TV role. While Piper is not particularly to my taste, I suppose that would have been a plus for the movie.

I enjoyed it as I watched it. It cleanly disarmed the time travel mush, and it contains the one element that makes bad movies good and good movies great.....Bruce Willis machine-gunning people to death.

With that said, two days later I couldn't remember what we'd seen, and it's chock full 'o plot holes.....and not just time travel-related ones.

It's a good movie, just not a great movie, even with Bruce Willis machine-gunning people to death.
