Reading the 8, 9 and 10 star reviews here as people go overboard with superlatives trying to "sell" this movie. Some of the reviews feature adjectives that aren't even actual words.

I gave up on this with a half-hour yet to go.

At the core of this movie is an unoriginal concept about how our lives would be very different if we made different choices in life. In this movie the mechanism isn't angels ("It's a Wonderful Life","The Family Man") but the now overused narrative device of "the multi-verse".

The emotional core of the movie is about a harried Asian woman and her gentle-mannered husband as well as her strained relationship with their daughter.

So far so good.

Then it goes off the rails. It all gets buried under a ton of overdone wire-work martial arts, much shouting and screaming and lots of frantic special effects.

Like a LOT. Like about sixty minutes too much.

I think it was the point where our heroine is fighting two dudes who have anal plugs dangling from their asses that I just rolled my eyes and gave up on it.

At this point I was losing the thread of the plot and, honestly, didn't care about it anymore.

I wanted to get on with an actual story, but we see the same scenes more or less repeated over and over. Crazy fight scene... heroine dies or seem thoroughly defeated... no, wait! She's back up again for another crazy fight scene. And another. And another. Quiet emotional scene with husband or daughter. Then MORE fighting.

It's exhausting and you're a better person than I am if you can get through this endurance contest.
