Michael Kopelow and Devon Ogden in Counter Clockwise (2016)
By inventively merging mind-bending science fiction with dark comedy, COUNTER CLOCKWISE delivers a hugely entertaining thriller about a befuddled time travelling scientist caught up in a murder mystery. Bearded scientist Ethan Walker is obsessively working on inventing a tele-transportation device. Instead he stumbles into inventing a time machine and recklessly zaps himself six months into the future. Ethen finds that the future has taken a sinister tone as men are out to kill him and the police are looking for him for the murder of his sister and wife. He now needs to try to return to the point right before everything went wrong and solve the mysteries. Easier said than done. An inventive, head-scratching, fast-paced American Indie time-travelling gem.

    It's ok for what it's worth.

    From the outset, one can tell it's a very low budget movie. Nevetheless, some great films such as Cube (1997) were very low budget and had a fantastic end product.

    I found this movie hard to follow. Wasn't really sure what was going on or what the plot was trying to achieve. I did figure the main protagonist was stuck in a time loop hence multiple versions of himself but in the end it could have been an infinite perpetual loop.

    Some of the graphics/computing effects looked as if they stemmed from the 80's/90's at times. Perhaps that was intentional to give an industrial feel, but for me, reinforced that low budget feeling.

    I am a fan of Michael Kopelow hence I gave this a watch. I haven't seen him run that fast since he was cast as 'Joe' in The Stoned Age! I was rooting for Joe when he was running away from the villains!

    Anyway, I may give this another watch. I think it deserves that as I am going through a trawl of watching indy films, rather than the Hollywood blockbusters!

    Tries to be a cult film...maybe in the future

    This is very stylish film, perhaps a little heavy handed in its surreal filming, but it's populated by a very human cast, that brings it all down to earth. Nice questions raised, which are never really fully answered, and gives you a nudge to sort it out for yourself. I think it asks a lot from the audience, which is why the low score on here. I never do much reviewing, but I thought I'd put this one up, because if you've not seen this you really should check it out.

    If you liked Primer, you'll like this.

    This is an indie sci-fi time travel / psychological thriller movie with an obviously low budget. The action scenes in particular could be more convincing but they contribute to the whole in a weird sort of way.

    As a nerd I happened to love this movie, especially the way it made me laugh at certain things and because I thought those were the things the director wanted me to laugh at! You may or may not catch some of the details that made me enjoy it more, but a mind for subtleties is surely required to appreciate the this work.

    Recommended especially for people that have, or like to think they have, a degree of OCD.

    A Mess

    I really love films concerning time travel so was looking forward to watching this. Unfortunately it was a mess. I know nothing about making films or directing but even I could tell it was badly edited and poor techniques. It really felt like a school project than an actual film.

    Other reviewer has compared it to Primer but at least that film looks professional and is actually a decent if complex film to watch.

    Anyway I would avoid this film. It really is a mess with poor acting, poor editing and a plot that makes no sense and is unbelievable. The numbers going across the computer screen when they use the "teleport" is 1980s portrayal of computers.

      The word 'Dooto' is featured in hidden ways throughout the movie which is in reference to 'Ruffa-Dooto' the nickname of the dog of one of the director's oldest friends.

      At approximately the 24 minutes into the movie, Ethan is being shown the death of his sister and wife on the internet. The article misspells the word roughly as "rougly". However, at the 1:04 minute mark, when Ethan is thinking about that article, the word roughly is now correctly spelled.

      Roman: People think you gotta wash your hands after you take a piss. As if your dick is filthy. My penis is immaculate, it's been in my trousers all day long where it belongs. Now my hands, they're filthy dirty. You should have to wash your hands before you to take a piss.
