Starring Denzel Washington, Paula Patton, Val Kilmer
Called in to recover evidence in the aftermath of a horrific explosion on a New Orleans ferry, federal agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) gets pulled away from the scene and taken to a top-secret government lab that uses a time-shifting surveillance device to help prevent crime. But can it help Carlin change the past—and save the dead woman he’s fallen in love with? This propulsive science-fiction tour de force from action stylist Tony Scott blends his bravura set pieces and hyperkinetic editing style with a fascinating undercurrent of longing.
