Not the worst thing ever

*some basic concept spoilers below*

This is a typical time loop movie. Think Groundhog's Day.

I'm not opposed to the use of the cliché. Edge of Tomorrow was a fun and entertaining take on the concept.

This movie is a lot less fun than that. It's low budget and it never really allows you to appreciate the characters. The characters are all just rats in a maze, scurrying around without giving us much reason to care about them. The female love interest, Hannah, in particular was quite annoying. Why does the main character love her? Why does he put up with her constant betrayals? I never figured any of that out.

Ultimately, I found that the movie ended in an unsatisfying manner.

I marginally appreciated the movie, but wouldn't watch it again.
