Writer: Richie Mehta
Cast: Haley Joel Osment, Rufus Sewell, Gillian Anderson
Genre: Sci-Fi Drama Mystery
About: When a mother and her young son is left standing at the airport, a ten year search is on for her missing husband. As the son grows up he learns of his dad's time travel machine, and seeks to solve the mystery as to why dad didn't come back.
Review: Ugh, this was boring. I try not to use that word but it was tedious. Worst than that was the bad acting, especially from child actor Haley Joel Osment, The Sixth Sense (1999) & A.I Artificial Intelligence (2001), now grown up and amazingly enough his acting skills didn't grow with him. Which is OK as he's surrounded by mediocre acting, in a go nowhere script that plays like an episode of The Outer Limits (1995-2002). Well that's not quite fair to The Outer Limits which produced some truly fine TV episodes.
The only bright spot in this dim Indie film is Gillian Anderson. Yes she can act and act up a storm she does. But she can't save a lame story line with even lamer dialogue. I wish the film had been about her and it might have been a bit better.
