    Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins are so interesting that it's easy to put up with the decision-making dithering that goes along with the title.

    A taut, skillful exercise in cinematic clockwork.

    In a way, the film ultimately gets snagged in its own contraption.

    The sum here is less than the parts, which have problems of their own.

    The leads are immensely appealing, but the sum of their experiences equals nothing more profound than two earnest people wrestling with a tough decision.

    Half formulaic and half simply unimaginative.

    Dicey entertainment, indeed.

    The result is some nice atmospherics tethered to a cripplingly half-baked existentialism.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Incredibly slow and directionless. The characters aren't fleshed out and are unlikable, particularly the female protagonist. The movie begins with two lovers running in opposite directions on a bridge, which somehow initiates what seems like two parallel worlds with two sets of identical protagonists. I was interested in the beginning, and accepted the absurdity of some of the character's actions on the grounds that the film was centered around some surreal dream sequence. However, this development isn't expanded upon (with the exception that every notable event is mirrored in the opposing story line.) At any rate, a whole lot of nothing happens and is concluded with an extremely unsatisfying ending. Most of the movie was spent with each set of characters doing trivial things (such as buying olive oil) or running away from some non-descript men with guns as fast as the female lead could run (accompanied with much whining). Damn you netflix and your awful grading scale.… Full Review »

    Kept my interest with the actors, surprisingly natural and believable. Chase scenes in New York City skillfully carried off.
