Entertaining

A man goes back in time to save his mother - or something like that anyway - I was too entertained to fully grasp what was going on. Seriously, this film moves so fast that you will find yourself having to try your hardest to keep up with it.

Great movie. Great soundtrack. Great performances. A shame that the sequels did not live up to this one.
