There are a lot of subplots, it takes a long time to get where it’s going and it suffers from an oversupply of endings, and despite a good premise it’s a pretty stock standard action thriller story, so several scenes of genuine fear and horror are upsetting almost to the point they don’t seem to belong in the movie.

Thurman is a world away from the one-woman army of Kill Bill, and plays her beauty up to the nth degree as the Swedish vixen that captivates both men. Lane’s energy is infectious and he is a talented comic no matter how cheesy or slapstick the material.

If you like your mindbenders (see the work of Lynch, Anthony Hopkins’ little-seen pet project Slipstream Dream and Donnie Darko), you’ll love the story of three characters all played by the same man (Ryan Reynolds), or is it one characters inhabiting three bodies in three different universes?
