Shuffle just gets some ideas from other movies (Memento, Butterfly effect, and a couple more) and makes an interesting movie for the first 20 minutes or so. Then it goes out of control, gets dark and slow, and you know an uplifting end is coming...sometime. But it just drags on and on until you reach - not an uplifting- but terribly corny ending. And I mean it, the end was just missing bunnies and sweets falling from the sky to make it the corniest ending in film history.
Aside from that, you have to watch an entire hour of a film solely based in a "dreamy" visual effect out of the Big Giant's Looks (anyone with a slight knowledge of After Effects or any film editing software knows what I mean). There's also a "revealing" scene which is supposed to happen in slow motion or halted time...and the background is a bad photograph of a poorly lit street. Anyway, you can see the lights as in a bad night photograph, with hard light streaks and not as it would look on film.
I don't know, but this movie didn't make it for me, neither it's script or visual style.
