Like Signal but so much better!

I must watch anything involving time: time travel, time slip, parallel universe, reincarnation (though I must admit I am not a fan of time skip the K dramas adore!). The title of the movie made me expect something with a lot of action and a rag tag kind of a hero. Nothing of the sort. Still really good but this is not an action flick! Points OFF for the title!!!

The film tells a story of two men connected by a same accident at the same place at the same time but 32 years apart. After that incident they start dreaming about each other. The man in the past is a teacher and the one in the present, a police detective. When the teacher's girlfriend gets murdered, the policeman helps him find the murdered and save other victims.

The story is very reminiscent of Kairos and Signal and being a movie, it is tightly woven and more exciting than a long drawn drama. And it is all the better for it! Time slip stories are very difficult to make believable because the logic always interferes and plot holes are usually many. They managed to avoid those traps. There is a logical answer to everything.

The characters were also well written and especially the girlfriend who, for once, is not a damsel in distress but a brave and smart woman with brains. That was refreshing. The actor playing the detective is probably one of the worst actors I have ever seen: his voice is monotonal, his acting bland and his face pretty and empty of all feeling. Points OFF for bad acting!

The ending is perfect as well: the murderer having been caught in the past, the life was put on a parallel course with the original timeline and therefore everything changed in the life of the detective. Smart and logical!

Time Renegades is an excellent film, quick, suspenseful and entertaining watch. Bad title though! lol
