A Time‑Travel Crime Comedy That Feels Like Old‑School Shoot‑Em‑Ups

The new Hulu release throws viewers into a chaotic mix of gangster action and time‑travel hijinks. The story follows Mike, a weary enforcer who’s tired of the mob life, and his partner Nick. Nick is not just a buddy—he’s from the future and has slipped back half a year to fix past mistakes. He convinces Mike to pull one last job: take out Nick himself, because the older version of Nick has become a dangerous target. The plot kicks off when Sosa, a ruthless mob boss, learns that Mike was the reason his son Jimmy is in prison. Sosa’s revenge plan involves a cannibal hitman, and the tension escalates when Mike discovers he has an affair with Nick’s wife, Alice. This love triangle adds a bizarre layer to the already over‑the‑top crime saga.Despite its chaotic premise, the film keeps things simple. The director, Ben‑David Grabinski, doesn’t explain how time travel works—he lets the audience focus on the action and humor instead of complicated sci‑fi mechanics. The result feels like a throwback to mid‑2000s shoot‑em‑up movies, but with modern comedic twists. The cast is a strong point. Vince Vaughn brings his signature sarcasm, James Marsden offers charming banter, and Eiza González plays Alice with fierce confidence. Supporting actors Ben Schwartz and Stephen Root add quirky depth to the story’s world. If you’re craving a movie that blends fast‑paced violence with absurd comedy, this Hulu original delivers. It’s a nostalgic nod to older action films while still offering fresh laughs and an engaging, time‑bending plot.
