This is a very smart film. Like Go and Vantage Point this is about an accident/incident that happens exactly at 11.14 and then we go back 14 minutes and see what lead to that event from five different perspectives. We see the different people involved and what they did that eventually caused what finally happened.
It begins with a simple accident but as the different perspectives, stories are told and retold we find out how they are all connected to each other like pieces of a puzzle. It has crimes, sex, money, vandalism, traffic accidents, severed body part, two dead bodies, a dog, crazy decisions, loving father, loony daughter... and much, much more. And by the time the final story is told it all becomes clear, and we can see the final picture that emerges.

And that is quite frankly stunning!
Everything is it interconnected like a house made of cards, you remove one and the other cards fall apart.
This is a memorable film. Five stories that smartly come
together leading to a fantastic climax. If I were to compare this to food, this is not a light snack. Instead it would be a heavy five course meal, all formal and sophisticated, for which you have to have a stomach and hunger to digest. This is heavy, heavy stuff. So if you're feeling intelligent, and those grey cells are ready to go, looking for some action, check this film out. This will give them plenty of exercise and will leave you satisfied and thinking.
