75The film, in its early going, also has a nice light humor about it, and an engaging, albeit tragic, love story.

60Machine makes its look-to-the-future-not-the-past message as clear as a Grammy acceptance speech, but as an exploration of regret and the elusive quality of time, it falls well short of "Memento," another film starring a sad-eyed Pearce.
