Trace (Jed Rowen) has just recieved a 12,000 Volt electric shock, which
is enough to kill not one but several men - only he doesn't drop dead,
just goes unconscious and wakes up in his bed the next morning. Now that's
weird enough, but even weirder, his best friend Quinn (James Di Giacomo)
drops by and tells him they met at the bowling alley the night before and
despite being dressed in a hospital gown, Trace played the game of his
life. Thing is, every now and again Trace slips into unconsciousness, and
when he comes to again, things get a little weirder, like his sort-of
girlfriend (Rachel Riley) wanting to drink his blood, him being on the run
from zombies, him meeting his long deceased father (Vernon Wells), him
meeting a carpenter (Tom Sizemore) who might just be Jesus, and him having
a conversation with Satan (Tanamin Clark). Eventually, Quinn comes up with
the reason of Trace's condition, that the electric shock has enabled him
to travel between dimensions all based on the infinite different decisions
he could have made in his life. This sounds plausible, but doesn't answer
the question, how does Trace get back to his own original dimension ... Eric
Roberts and Elissa Dowling have a pretty hilarious skit at the beginning
of the movie as a paranoid and gun-toting couple with an unhealthy disdain
of authority. A pretty unusual film that manages to at the same
time be slightly brain-heavy science fiction with some philosophical depth
- but on the other hand it's also pretty funny, basically because the film
uderstands to explore the endless possiblities of its main theme to
maximum entertainment effect. And thanks to a colourful cast who are
clearly enjoying themselves, and a directorial effort that grants the
actors the space to develop their characters to full force, this has
turned into a very enjoyable flick.
