| Donnie Guthrie | 90 | - Time and time again I heard that this was a "Mess of a movie". I thought it kept me engaged and full of anxiety throughout the movie. Overall a great movie/acting. I thought they did a great job explaining on how Bruce Willis's character (The older Joe) was able to go to back in time. Overall, a great plot, great writing. The end of the movie left me wanting more. |

| CinemaVisitor Erik | 85 | - It gets a bit slow halfway through but it's a smart, original and creative time-travel sci-fi far from the mainstream action-packed flicks. (full review) |

| Nick Ledgerwood | 70 | - This movie was far from perfect. Just like any movie involving time travel, it fell victim to tremendous plotholes (if young Joe kills himself, there is no old Joe and the events of the movie could never have happened. And also, couldn’t he have just shot his hand off or something?). However, those are the sorts of things that you have to expect going into a time travelling thriller and learn to live with. Overall, I found this movie to be compelling and unique. I especially love the way they conveyed the changes in the stories timeline through old Joe’s memories. |
| Bryan Lienesch | 65 | - You're basically preoccupied with Gordon-Levitt's bizarre face until the tempermental child out of The Omen shows up. |
