The Butterfly Effect (2004)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Release Date: Jan 23, 2004; Rated: R; Length: 113 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Mystery and Thriller, Sci-fi and Fantasy; With: Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart; Distributor: New Line Cinema

A chain-reaction thriller in which Ashton Kutcher keeps diving into his past to alter some horrendous event, then shooting into the different future that results from it. There's a good head trip nestled somewhere within the film's messy, sodden execution.
