WOW!
I loved this movie. An intelligent (and well-thought-out) story, tight directing, good acting...wow. Very good. It was like Enemy of the State (the movie, not the FPW book) meets Frequency with a bit of Laura (1944) thrown in (yes, seriously!). I can already see this joining my Untraditional Time Travel Movie Festival (which includes Timeline, Frequency, Minority Report, Kate & Leopold, and other movies involving time travel minus flying cars or Morlocks).
I especially loved this after the high-aiming (but largely-lacking) The Fountain.
Other thoughts?

I saw trailer. Must see this!
I'm torn on this movie. I'm a big Tony Scott fan, but this movie got skewered by critics. Probably wait for DVD.

The movie guy in the DAILY NEWS--Jack Matthews?--gave it 4 stars. I don't have a lot of use for critics unless they're writing about what they do themselves, and therefore =really= know about. Spider Robinson's reviews in ANALOG come to mind, but I'm hard-pressed to think of anybody else.
Tony Scott turned me off after the edit/massacre job he's been doing since Man on Fire. It's like he makes movies to keep the attention of children with ADD.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Domino and Man on Fire. The stories of both seemed interesting, but the poor lighting, the jittery cam and the out of context shots throw me way off.

I didn't see one...maybe you're just experiencing--?
Nah, I won't say it.
