Though the idea and premise were interesting, Jonathan didn't quite know what it wanted to be. The direction it took, either didn't really lead anywhere interesting, or it did lead somewhere interesting, just via an uninteresting route.
Suki Waterhouse's character was extraordinarily one dimensional. Her response to Jonathan's condition wasn't a reaction, it was a typical, cliche and almost perfectly flat action, of a shove. You didn't feel her anger, or amazement, or confusion, or anything, to a point where, she came across as fully non-descriptive.
Also, her falling for Jonathan was, somewhat inexplicable to some extent. Had she perhaps been torn between John and Jonathan, that would've made a bit more sense, but, she just completely forgot about John, and then just like that; poof, the movie seemed to just forget about her.
Jonathan really didn't know how to get to where it wanted to go, or maybe didn't know where it wanted to go, and so it ended up feeling much longer than it actually ran because it was too busy trying to figure itself out.
This movie tried to be a drama, but failed. It tried its hand at sci-fi, and didn't really pull that off either. It took a shot at being a romance, and just abandoned that somewhere along the line.
I give this movie a 5/10 because ultimately, it ended up being half of everything it was trying to be, and failed half way through of all it was trying to be.
The way it ended too, wasn't great at all, and really exemplified just how this movie had no idea what its destination was; all it had was the time: 07:03.
