7/10
Interesting enough

Interesting movie. Gwyneth Paltrow stars as a young English woman employed at a PR firm. Within the first 5 minutes of the movie, she loses her job and as she is walking towards the subway to catch a "tube" home, she encounters a brief disruption in her path that causes her to just barely miss the train. The movie then reverses back to that chance encounter and repositions the obstacle as to allow her to proceed unimpeded. From that point on, the viewer is presented with two different but parallel realities. In one reality, she gets home in time to catch her boyfriend cheating on her, but meets a new acquaintance on the train home who later becomes a romantic interest. In the other reality, she does not learn about her boyfriend's affair until near the end of the movie. Despite a couple of interesting twists at the end, one of the realities ends in tragedy, while the other is quite predictable, yet satisfying.
