I love titles that provide insights to the movie that you don't realize until the movie's over. Even though it flirts with the ever elusive concept of fate, the premise of the movie is really about a bureacratic establishment intervening in our affairs. And what's funny is the whole concept sounds ominous and odd, but really it's like "It's a Wonderful Life," less the "if I was never born" spin. Well, not exactly-- there was some major deus ex machina going on that ruined the illusion for me that was not a factor in Stewart's film-- but I'mma roll with it; it definitely felt like the 50's though: from the fedora hats to the way they referred to their bosses, Mr. Richardson and Mr. Thompson.
Verdict: Don't spend anything on it, but not a complete waste if you did (Netflix it)
