12.01

Based on the short story "12:01 PM" by Richard A. Lupoff, this is a fabulous film.

The protagonist witnesses the murder of a woman he secretly likes. She is killed in front of him and he is unable to do anything to save her. That night he goes to a bar to drown his sorrows and mourn her death. And as he is returning home, there is a storm and he gets an electric shock at exactly 12:01 AM.

The next morning he heads to office and is stunned to see the same girl he had seen murdered last evening. She's alive, and hale and hearty! How?

He now realizes that the day hasn't moved on. It's still the previous day! And that evening he sees her gunned down yet again!

The next morning he wakes up eagerly and sees it's the same day again and the woman is alive and will be killed as expectedly in the evening. And she is gunned down again and again and again, repeatedly, at the same time, again and again. 

So now he has all the time in the world to stop the murder of the love of his life, and it's not as easy as it sounds. In fact, it's going to be hell for him. 

I found this better than Groundhog Day, and I mean it. And better than Edge Of Tomorrow. And I mean that too!
