The Butterfly Effect

"A somber fable about the far-reaching and unforeseen consequences that ripple out from every act, screenwriters Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber's joint directing debut falters under its weighty dramatic burdens."

"Inhabited by a genuine spirit of cruelty, both toward its characters and its audience."

"I enjoyed "The Butterfly Effect," up to a point. That point was reached too long before the end of the movie. There's so much flashing forward and backward, so many spins of fate, so many chapters in the journals, that after awhile I felt that I, as well as time, was being jerked around."
