Two gangsters and the woman they love try to survive the most dangerous night of their lives. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s one wild ingredient added to the mix: a time machine.

A slick, star-driven crime-comedy with a time-travel hook and a strong sense of playful, self-aware genre mashup. The appeal seems to come less from airtight plotting than from chemistry, needle drops, and a few unexpectedly emotional turns; it looks like a movie for people who enjoy messy, specific, cultish entertainment more than polished high-concept sci-fi.
This looks like a knowingly oddball crime caper that uses time travel as a pressure valve for character conflict. The premise is simple enough to sell in one sentence, but the real hook seems to be the way it turns a dangerous night into a series of personality tests, with the sci-fi element functioning more as a comic and emotional amplifier than as a puzzle box.
The strongest signals here are tonal: people are responding to the movie’s specific jokes, aggressive needle drops, and the pleasure of watching familiar star types get pushed into stranger, scrappier territory. It sounds like the kind of film that can feel a little loose or uneven, but also alive in a way more polished studio genre films often aren’t.
If you like crime stories with a cult-movie pulse, this should be worth a look. If you need airtight plotting or a more disciplined emotional arc, the charm may not fully outweigh the messiness.

Yes I am friends with the writer/director yes I am biased no I don't care because I'm not being paid for this review. Often felt like BenDavid made this movie specifically for me. There's an action scene set to Andrew WK (something I've been waiting forever to see). There's a scene involving one of my favorite songs ever that turns into one of the more moving moments I've seen in a movie this year. It has Jimmy Tatro onscreen doing

As a major Oliver & Company fan, that opening needle drop was like activating a sleeper agent within me.

Obsessed with the Gilmore Girls love but if I ever walk into a strip club and they’re bumping Dave Matthews I’m out of there immediately.

A spiraling one-night odyssey where bad luck, escalating danger, and comic panic keep tightening the screws.
A classic for viewers who want crime, banter, and momentum with a strong buddy-movie engine.
Hard-boiled action with sharp comic timing, star swagger, and a grimy, self-aware edge.
For the mix of crime chaos, romantic heat, and pop-culture-forward energy.
Nonlinear crime storytelling, stylized dialogue, and a playful sense of danger, even if the tone is more polished.
A time-travel story that uses sci-fi as a vehicle for paranoia, character tension, and dark humor.
Cool criminal chemistry, romance under pressure, and a sleek but playful genre sensibility.
A propulsive crime-comedy with intersecting stories, sharp tone shifts, and a party-night sense of escalation.
A lighter, star-driven gangster comedy that thrives on personality and absurdity.
For the kinetic urgency and the way time becomes a dramatic engine rather than just a concept.
