If I wasn't a time travel nut, I would probably have skipped Paradox, a Zoe Bell vehicle where she gets to do minimal stunts and fighting, as part of a crew trapped in a causal loop that seems inescapable. The time travel plot is actually pretty airtight, and there's something naughty and amusing about the number of "creating yourself" paradoxes on show. HOWEVER! It takes what feels like forever to get to those bits, it wastes its capital on ordinary thriller tropes, and what few effects it can afford are unforgivably terrible in this day and age. That all severely impacts the entertainment value of this "cheapie" and I found my attention drifting with nothing to really anchor it either to the plot or the characters. Gray rooms, gray suits, mostly no-name actors, repeated actions... It all blurred into a mush. 7 years 4 months ago
