Triangle

TRIANGLE (2009) - Mar. 28, 2010
A mind-bending thriller about a woman and her friends, out on a yachting trip, who wind up getting stranded on a mysterious old cruise ship; temporal shenanigans ensue.  The film was really well directed by Christopher Smith, and featured a narrative that became more and more time travel heavy as it went along; comparisons to Timecrimes are definitely appropriate, though Timecrimes seemed to tie together fairly neatly by the time the end credits rolled -- I'm not so sure if the same is the case here.  There are certain things about this film that are still pretty baffling to me -- particularly the origin of the final Jess.  Where did she come from?  And why was she pretending to be all confused and deja-vu-ridden on the cruise ship when, presumably, she knows exactly why she's there?  Still, despite my lingering questions, this was a stylish and effective thriller, and one I'm sure I'll be revisiting at some point in the future.  ***1/2
