The Door (Die Tür) - "Down-and-out artist David Andernach (Mads Mikkelsen) gets a chance to travel back in time and set things right after his young daughter, Leonie, drowns in the family pool in this gripping thriller based on Akif Pirinçci's terrifying novel. Five years after the tragedy, the guilt-racked David -- who was bedding his mistress as Leonie died -- steps through a time portal leading to the day of her death. Can he save Leonie, or is it all an illusion?"
In the vein of "Time Crimes", "The Butterfly Effect" and other 'time-travel' type movies "The Door" gives us another variation of the "what would happen if you went back in time' themes. "The Door" begins slowly but picks up steam pretty quick. While not as mind-boggling as "Primer" or "Triangle" it is still very entertaining and presents a new take on an old theme.
Definitely worth a rental (when it becomes available). If you prefer not to wait you may purchase the DVD w/English subtitles from eThaiCD.com
