CHANGE ONE THING, CHANGE EVERYTHING.

Student Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) grew up suffering from blackouts; when he starts reading his old diaries he’s taken back to his childhood and starts tampering with those disastrous events that took place during the blackouts. Kutcher took a break from his comedies to make this surprisingly dark thriller, but he acts like he’s still on That ‘70s Show. Interesting to see what the main character does with those fateful events during his upbringing, but it’s all rather depressing and the ending is a little too neatly put together.
