Did You Know?

Trivia

The street chase, train station, and subway scenes were all shot in Toronto. All the subway stations depicted are actually the same unused platform. This is why the escalator is shown as dismantled for maintenance when the characters enter the station: it was removed when the platform was closed. See more »

Goofs

Inconsistent car numbers in the subway train. Most obviously, when the characters are walking forward through the train, the two front cars are both car 5326; when they walk back again, the second car is 5327. See more »

Surprisingly Good !!
21 February 2002 | by (Minneapolis) – See all my reviews

I caught this mostly by accident last night on TBS and it was much better than I expected. I think there are only a half dozen or so possible plots for a time travel story -- but this movie has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. The coincidences are just a bit too much, but all is forgiven when I can be surprised in the last 30 minutes.
