Quaid's buoyant earnestness complements the stunning, low-key performance by Caviezel, whose close-ups give new meaning to the idea that still waters run deep.

This ambitious but frustrating timeshift thriller never quite manages to jam together two distinct stories.
Nick Funnell, Time Out

Why gripe about a few minor inconsistencies? Just relax and enjoy the show.
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
Features plenty of soft-focus, picture-perfect, father-and-son baseball scenes, an enormous amount of plot, and not quite enough of anything else.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
A fairly wonderful movie about fathers and sons and the mystery of time.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
