A Day (2017)

Time loop.

Both involve the use of a phone as a time bridging element to change something that happens in the past. Both cases to save a loved one.

the main element is different, in Times it's communicating with someone in the past while A Day is a repetition of the day but both have that "Change the past, Change the present, but with consequences" thing

The characters keep reliving the same day over and over trying to prevent something from happening to their loved ones

Similarly this is also about time and space between two events. Not bad, taking the concept idea of Edge of Tomorrow for the deja-vu sequence but in a mystery kinship touch.

The Phone is an underrated film, although at the start it has lots of dialogues going on. I also got distracted and wasn't following up in the beginning, but it was actually the story really setting up between the time and space of the murder. It's a combination of Interstellar with Taken, talking through time anomaly, as he tracks down the murderer that killed his wife. So it's like past and present is changing at the same time to unfold more clues to the murder.

Both films portray desperate parents trying to save their family from an uncontrollable situation. Hard Hit is a tense film from start to finish and it's well worth it.
