...please and thank you, this lo-fi effort definitely needed some serious rewriting to create a viable story, never mind the necessary re-casting of a more appealing lead. I realize this was essentially a vanity project (and really, not a badly conceived one), but if the execution isn't relatively flawless, such things typically end up frustrating and confusing. "Counter Clockwise" is no exception to this rule of thumb. I won't spoil things for those who want to take a shot at this tale of time-travel paradoxes, but will mention that no one is likely to grok this film on one viewing. Sadly, it's just not worth sitting through a second time to figure things out, let alone try to digest much of the low-rent Tarantino exchanges between the nebbish lead and the various cut-out characters he encounters in his time- warping travels. Of interest strictly to time-travel completists.

I really love films concerning time travel so was looking forward to watching this. Unfortunately it was a mess. I know nothing about making films or directing but even I could tell it was badly edited and poor techniques. It really felt like a school project than an actual film. Other reviewer has compared it to Primer but at least that film looks professional and is actually a decent if complex film to watch. Anyway I would avoid this film. It really is a mess with poor acting, poor editing and a plot that makes no sense and is unbelievable. The numbers going across the computer screen when they use the "teleport" is 1980s portrayal of computers.

This is very stylish film, perhaps a little heavy handed in its surreal filming, but it's populated by a very human cast, that brings it all down to earth. Nice questions raised, which are never really fully answered, and gives you a nudge to sort it out for yourself. I think it asks a lot from the audience, which is why the low score on here. I never do much reviewing, but I thought I'd put this one up, because if you've not seen this you really should check it out.

This is an indie sci-fi time travel / psychological thriller movie with an obviously low budget. The action scenes in particular could be more convincing but they contribute to the whole in a weird sort of way.As a nerd I happened to love this movie, especially the way it made me laugh at certain things and because I thought those were the things the director wanted me to laugh at! You may or may not catch some of the details that made me enjoy it more, but a mind for subtleties is surely required to appreciate the this work. Recommended especially for people that have, or like to think they have, a degree of OCD.
