The Butterfly Effect - Spoiler Review

This film was a really exciting and mysterious thriller. It has a non linear plot, not having a clear begging, middle and end. The Protagonist  Ashton Kutcher's, character starts to re create his past, trying to make his and other characters life's better. For example he goes back to his past to make himself save a mother and child from being injured from an inevitable explosion. But this then results in him being insured and loosing limbs. This change of events from present to past, happens again and again until the end in which he changes one event for the better.

The mystery in this thriller is largely present, leaving the audience posing questions. The enigma code is the constant black outs Kutcher's character has.This film a restricted narrative, because the audience know something bad will happen but the audience do not know exactly how, where or why. It turns out to be the love interest of Kutcher's character, ends up to be non existent.

This film is a psychological thriller because it plays with the mind of Kutcher's character, leaving him clueless after blackouts, and going slightly out of control creating more conflict than there was originally. Because this film is under the sub genre of psychological the main focus is the characters rather than the plot, and it created lots of suspense which kept me second guessing myself. I really enjoyed this thriller, because it was constantly revealing the truth about what happened in the blackouts the main character had.
