If ‘Terminator 2’ and ‘Groundhog Day’ were melded into one film, we would get something very close to this action comedy.
A "Man from the Future" (Sam Rockwell) walks into a Los Angeles diner wearing a clear plastic raincoat, mismatched shoes and what looks like a suicide vest. He claims to have been sent back in time to save humanity from the imminent and inevitable AI uprising. After some convincing, a curious crew of diners who are all fed up with the unstoppable rise of technology agree to help the man in his quest. Director Gore Verbinski last directed a feature film ten years ago, which is far too long a wait for one of filmmaking's most unique and innovative voices. Few directors have shown such versatility in their careers, having previously made everything from a psychological horror masterpiece with ‘The Ring’, swashbuckling epics with the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ trilogy, and even the innovative animation ‘Rango’.
