This concept has been beaten to death in everything from The Twilight Zone to other big-budget flicks, but at least the execution and cast look interesting:
That doesn’t look too bad; it could have been more interesting if instead of getting sent back into the same guy every time, he was in a different passenger each trip (and the reason everyone is acting weirdly is that they’re all him).
I’m curious as to how they’re going to resolve the paradox (probably just with hand-waving); if you can only go back into the last 8 minutes of someone’s life, and he stops the explosion, then he won’t have been able to go back to stop the explosion (unless that guy dies some other way within 8 minutes).
Judging from the preview, it looks like he makes a few attempts to change the timeline outside of stopping the actual explosion, including trying to jump off the moving train (looks like his legs broke on that one).
That said, branching timelines is the easy cheat, but I guess we will see .
Gyllenhaal does a reasonable job of evoking emotions from his audience, at least from what I have seen him in… should be interesting to see his career develop.

Sooo… it’s like a mash up between groundhog day and inception?
Pretty much. But given that there are only seven basic stories, you can only recombine them in so many ways.

Does look interesting and more compelling than those things usually are.
