..that was bad. Had high hopes, and the beginning was pretty intriguing. But as others have noted, by the third act it has completely disintegrated. And the ending is just hilarious!
If you like dark, moody sci-fi, you're probably thinking this might keep you occupied for a few hours, and hey what do you have to lose? Well, I was like you my friend, and I lost 2 hours of my life.
I don't think I've ever given a movie less than 4 stars before, as I can usually judge if it's a stinker in advance. But sad to say, not this time.
As other reviewers have also noted, this was a huge missed opportunity - and I think what makes it worse is that it actually fools you for about the first half that it might be a good movie. Unfortunately a triple shot of cliché, predictability and genericism are injected straight into its vertebrae, from which it is impossible to recover.
Wish I can time travel back to 2 hours ago and watch something else!

I understand the negative reviews, as this movie is bleak and at times visually disturbing, however it certainly stays with you for a long time after viewing - which is more than can be said for a lot of modern movies.
It's a Kafka-esque mindtwister, and there are no unicorns and rainbows. It quite literally portrays what would happen to a few humans, some related, some complete strangers, mentally and physically if they were trapped in a spacial, but not temporal, loop.
If you want neat and happy endings, on-message moralising, famous comforting faces, this is not for you. It's not high-budget, and it's not going to win any Oscars, but it's an interesting idea, portrayed with terrifying realism. It's claustrophobic, limited settings are more akin to a screenplay, though the Mexican hills certainly make for a hauntingly beautiful backdrop to the road story.
If you like Borges, PKD, glitch_in_the_matrix, etc., certainly check it out, you won't be un-entertained. But be warned, it's... pretty weird.

Home Free All tells of a man who was once a prominent social activist, though now is running a scam stall on the streets of New York, struggling to make ends meet. His girlfriend has left him, his landlord wants to evict him and his therapist won't see him until he has settled his bill.
As his life is falling apart, by chance he bumps into an old acquaintance, who inadvertently indroduces him into a world of seedy encounters and organized crime.
Overall an entirely watchable obscure drama, with an instresting soundtrack to boot.
