Leave your thoughts about Repeaters.
| Globe and MailKate TaylorThis is never quite as taut as it needs to be, and the Manichean struggle becomes a bit facile. |
| VarietyRobert KoehlerRepeaters drifts into a flatlining exercise in pseudo-thrills long before its eventual moralistic ending. |
| User ReviewJonathan BWatch this movie!!!! (if you can find it) |
| User ReviewJonathan ADefinitely not the best movie in the world, but they do a lot of interesting things with the plot, the characters, and the acting's very stellar throughout. All-in-all, it's a good film to watch if you can find it on TV or maybe just rent it even, because it's worth checking out. |
| User ReviewCorbett LThis is actually a superhero story, especially superheroes gone bad. Pretty interesting plot! |
| User ReviewNicole PI personally enjoyed this movie...It made me think about what I would do if i was living the same day over and over again, knowing that when I woke up none of my actions would be accounted for. I think even the most righteous person would be tempted to do a couple of illegal things but what is your limit? Even if nobody else in the world will remember what you did tomorrow, it's still something you have to live with. SPOILER ALERT: Mike falls into the thrills and the idea of being able to do whatever he wants without reprucssions...but as the opening quote says "Don't wait for the last judgement. It happens everday." Kyle represented faith in this movie for me...ultimatley he always wanted to try to figure out a way to "fix" the situation. He was the first person to say maybe we are supposed to be doing good with what we were given here (for example stopping the suicide jumper.) I enjoyed the acting from all 3 of them...i thought they did a great job being that I don't recall seeing any of them in anything else. To DENISE B...If Kyle killed Mike after he went off the rails everytime he saw him, i personally think that would go against his character. He understood that there was still a possibility that tomorrow wouldn't repeat and then you'd have to pay for what you did...and although he was "forced" to kill that one man...it was something that he would never do on his on. It wouldnt be morally right. His main goal was to figure out how to make the day stop repeating and they eventually did once they finally made amends, which was the assignment they were given in rehab. To Daniel G...when it was raining they each got shocked...and thats supposedly what caused the repeats. They mentioned that when they were brainstorming trying to figure out how this could have possibly happened. The repeating stopped once mike shot kyle and he got shocked again when they brought him back to life in the hospital.. then the next day he finally got through to his sister and she forgave him...Sonia also went to go see her father in the hospital for the first time that day and forgave him...so they both finally did what they were supposed to do...then when they woke up it was the next day... I think there is room for people to interpret this movie how they want...especially the ending where mike is shown waking up this time...It's also interesting to look at this movie as a reference to what an addicts daily life is like...eventually every day seems the same and you can either choose to embrace the high life with reckless abandon or change...have faith that tomorrow is a new day and you can start over and change your life. Overall. I enjoy movies that make me think...and this one did, solid acting performances, and a great concept. A lot of people say it was lacking in multiple areas, with several plot holes...I say just check it out...atleast once! You be the judge. |
| User ReviewPeter HInteresting movie. A different view of the "Ground hog" day effect. |
| User ReviewNiklas S"Dont wait for the last judgement. It happens everyday" -Albert Camus Kudos to Richard de Klerk! such a good actor |
| User ReviewTroy WGreat movie. Its lowkey, but always stay interesting. I really liked this movie. |
| User ReviewMichael SI didn't expect a film from Carl Bassai to be this thrilling. Bassai's films are usually very character driven dramas and this movie had lots of action and suspense and a bit of sci-fi. It was a pleasant surprise and a very enjoyable film, which entertained throughout, but while doing so, also was completely focused on the character's personal struggles. The acting was also really strong. Nice job by all involved! |
