action

Kyle, Michael, and Sonia are inmates of an addictive rehabilitation center. In a thunderstorm, all three of them are electrocuted. Now they are stuck in a time warp and experience the same day over and over again. While in the beginning there are parties with binge drinking and drugs are consumed in a hilarious way, Michael splits off more and more, he shoots police officers, picks up on a girl or becomes otherwise violent.

Sonia and Kyle get closer and try to do good, Sonia can see her father, who is hated for sexual abuse, one last time while Kyle expresses his concern for his little sister. When suddenly snow falls it becomes clear that the daily repetition is now over. Michael panics after shooting two workers. After taking Kyle's sister hostage, he commits suicide. He was unable to reach a discussion with his imprisoned father.

criticism

Moritz Stock from Filmstarts.de thinks that the film entertains "mainly through simple but effective moments of tension", the "dramatic potential of the interesting premise" remains "but unused".
