Well, we found this film quite bizarre - almost as if the writer-director was tripping. It does get somewhere in the end, but it's a really strange journey - we're not quite sure what Michael Sheen was doing in it. (He looked older when wearing the long hair extensions of his 'youth'.) The frequent changes of aspect ratio aren't very helpful. The production designer / art director were kept busy.
A man on a train keeps jumping around in time and into alternative versions of his life and that of his brother / cousin, an unrecognisable Cary Elwes from The Princess Bride. An eclectic cast features Nathalie Emmanuel, Katherine Kelly, Phyllis Logan, John Thomson, Danny Ashok, Anna Lundberg, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Sophie Simnett, Robin Askwith and Hayley Mills!
I wouldn't write it off altogether but I would definitely file under 'misfire'.
