A riddle: you are in South Africa in a flat where the sun shines in from above. You decide to visit a Jamaican friend who, upon arrival, reports that it is now 4:00 am and invites you to go for a drive. When the sun shines again, you are in the middle of a township. How much time has passed since you were in the flat?
This film provides a completely illogical answer to this question, and it is just one of countless examples of completely ridiculous twists and turns in this bonkers action thriller in which Ethan Hawke dies, only to be resurrected for 24 hours through a revolutionary procedure because he has information that a shadowy company would love to have because… oh well, it's not worth retelling. If you're in the mood for it, this is a movie that is so bad it can be fun, but the only real fun moment is for Rutger Hauer who - after the sentimental opening - shows up for a moment in the last 10 minutes. By the way, the answer to the riddle is 8 hours. The rest of the film is frankly a vale of tears, not because it's touching but because it's so bad to cry. Especially because it is incomprehensible that Ethan Hawke ended up in such a dredge film! Write this down as a candidate for worst cinema film of the year.

Standard rude and meaningless action movie. But with an above-average amount of misplaced sentiment and stupidity. A few cool scenes and the pleasure of seeing Hauer again are the only positives.

This film premiered at the Austin Film Festival on October 26, 2017.
A decent action movie with good acting. At times, in my view, there was some sloppy camera work. Despite everything, a reasonable binocular.
