premise problems

In NYC, air traffic controller Dylan Branson (Michiel Huisman) has a premonition of a shooting in Grand Central Station at 2:22pm. He goes to work and nearly crashes two planes into each other at 2:22pm. He continues to encounter strange occurrences at 2:22pm. He meets art gallery owner Sarah Barton (Teresa Palmer).

There is a good idea somewhere here and these actors could have made it work. I’m still not sure if this premise makes any kind of movie sense. It would probably make more sense without the complication of the past loop. It could be more compelling. I really like the beautiful looking couple although they could have some better writing. The movie just needs to clear up the rambling premise.

Nope.

2:22 has many elements that would generally make up a good film, but not in this case.

It’s unevoking, unrelatable, unrealistic and convoluted. Why isn’t Teresa Palmer on a beach somewhere? It’s pretty simple. The settings, backdrop, music, secondary characters and minor characters, all negatively impact the film.

‘A start shines brightest just before it dies.’

Todd Stein’s fascinating story has been transcribed into a screen by the author and Nathan Parker and Paul Currie capably directs this mind-bending tale about time and intransigence.

2:22 (not to be mistaken for the 2008 heist film by the same name) centers on Dylan (Michiel Huisman) an air traffic controller who is given a jolt when he narrowly escapes being responsible for a mid air collision between two passenger planes. Caused by a mysterious blinding light that happened at 2:22 PM, these strange occurrences continue and lead Dylan to meet Sarah (Teresa Palmer), with whom he feels inexplicably linked: Dylan had prepared to be a pilot like his father but altered his career out of a fear of flying, and Sarah had prepared to be a dancer but fell victim to a broken knee, altering her decision to stay in the arts but as an art gallerist Together the two discover uncanny similarities with their current predicament and a double murder committed a generation ago. With a grim fate looming (a possible reenactment of a 30 year old murder scene in Grand Central Station), Dylan must solve the mystery of 2:22 to preserve a love whose second chance has finally come.

The use of an art exhibition at Sarah’s art gallery – art by her ex-lover Jonas (Sam Reid) – is worth the price of admission. Staggeringly unique and beautifully presented, the art plays a central role in the mystery, providing clues to the audience as it opens clues to Dylan’s search for the meaning of the 2:22 incidents. From there the film grows philosophically and offers layers of sophisticated concepts about time and the galaxies.

Excellent acting and direction and art direction (Richard Hobbs) and cinematography (David Eggby) and musical score (Lisa Gerard and James Orr) make this a very creative and compelling thriller.
