Like Gilliam in Twelve Monkeys, director Tony Scott handles everything in a believable way, firmly establishing the rules of the device and carefully laying out the loopholes therein. Pretty much the only movie that was able to walk that fine line well was Terry Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys, which was pretty heady, not just in the subject matter, but in the way the Gilliam treated time and circumstance as inevitable, even for a time traveler. Now time travel movies are sticky wickets because you’re crossing an Einstein-Rosen bridge from concrete reality to a more speculative shore. In truth though, this secret government division accidentally stumbled upon a way to literally look back in time four-days and six-hours, and under certain conditions, they can send objects back in time as well. Pryzwarra’s story is that the footage comes from a group of orbiting satellites that can cover an area from every angle, but the footage takes four-days and six-hours to become viewable. Claire being the only clear lead, Carlin is recruited by the shadowy Agent Pryzwarra (Val Kilmer) to become part of a top-secret “surveillance” unit.
