I’ve been reading this kind of stuff for over 60 years, and while some of what happens goes down very, very well, there are two gaps in the continuity of things that - and I hate to say it - pretty much spoiled the final thirty minutes or so for me. What he does not known, and as it turns out that what they are viewing is the actual past (abruptly switching gears and making this a science fiction movie rather than the run-of-he-mill action thriller it has been up to this point) and soon enough all kinds of time-travel paradoxes come into play, enough, I would imagine, to make an ordinary viewer’s head spin. Carlin suggests that they not spend their time looking at the ferry in the past, but focus instead on the young woman’s life. The catch is that what can be seen is limited to viewing events that have already taken place, an always consistent four days ago. Intrigued, he also learns that the team he is working with has access to a new satellite surveillance capability of tracking anyone almost anywhere. What strikes him as strange is that when he finds the partially burned body of a young woman who has floated ashore is that she died before the explosion. Asked by the FBI for his assistance on the case is a crack ATF agent named Doug Carlin (Denzell Washington). This is a movie that begins with a bang, no doubt about it, with a ferry filled with enlisted naval men and their families being blown up and destroyed by a terrorist in New Orleans. Denzel Washington, Paula Patton, Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel, Adam Goldberg, Elden Henson, Erika Alexander, Bruce Greenwood.
