However, Nick is called by his colleague Dave Bristol, who is disputing the promotion with Nick, for a meeting with a client. While on the road, Nick has an accident and Julie and his friends die. One year later, Nick finds that he can travel in time and tries to fix the past, with tragic consequences for the future.

So do you guys feel like

you were the same as you were back then?

Well, l know l'm

exactly the same.

l want to do when l grow up.

Well, hey, you used to

work at Foot Locker, and l'm sure

if you went back and asked,

they'd give you the job.

-Very funny.

-What about you, Nick?

- Have you changed much?

- Mmm-mm.

Although l must say,

Trevor has gotten way hotter.

You know that that is a fact,

my friend, okay?

My jaw is way wider now.

lt's striking.

All right, loverboy.

How about you and me

go get some wood

forthis fire, huh?

All right,

take care.

l got a really good feeling about

the next couple of months.

Yeah? Why is that?

lf we just close a couple

of our own accounts,

you know how huge

that could be for us?

Yeah, l mean, retiring early

would be very nice.

By 30?

Oh, sh*t.

Look, look.

Gross, dude.

Come here. What, you

afraid of a little crab?

Gross, dude!

Those things are just sick! Don't!

- Come on. Come on.

F***ing p*ssy.

This is so exciting!

Yeah. Maybe l should

Hey. Took you guys

long enough.

What are you

Oh, no, you should.

You should go pay some

art-school lifer

to grade your pictures.

l don't have to pay them.

You get the point.

And more importantly, it's in New York,

which is 3,000 miles away from me.

l know.

My job is about to blow up.

l promise you.

l'm gonna have the money so we can

open your own gallery.

You can shoot

your own pictures,

just like we

- lsn't that what you want?

- Of course.

This is perfect.

- Hey, don't get that, okay?

- Hey. Oh, where is it?

Remember, l wanted to

tell you something.

l know.

Just give me one second.

lt's work.

Hold on.

Hello?

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Right. No no no, it's not--

it's not a problem.

All right.

Bye-bye.

lt was Bristol.

l have to go to work.

Yeah, and it's my birthday,

so call him back,

tell him you're sick.

You just can't go.

Listen.

lf you do this for me,

we will come back

here next year,

and we will stay

the whole weekend,

and we'll get

a hotel room, and...

Baby?

Help me out here. l really need to go

to this meeting.

No, forget it.

l want a week.

-Aweek?

- That's right.

You and me

and no cell phones.

You can personally

smash this thing

before we leave.

How's that?

Okay.

Actually, you know what?

Why wait? l say...

to make sure.

Oh! Oh! Oh, that's--

l don't think so.

Give us something

Take yourtime...

Aw, sh*t. Baby, did you remember

my sunglasses?

Mm? What would you

do without me?

Yo, this is stupid!

Bristol's a dick.

Yeah, a dick who's gonna

get promoted instead of me

if l flake on this meeting.

John Frankenheimer

John Michael Frankenheimer (February 19, 1930 – July 6, 2002) was an American film and television director known for social dramas and action/suspense films. Among his credits were Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), The Manchurian Candidate (1962), Seven Days in May (1964), The Train (1964), Seconds (1966), Grand Prix (1966), French Connection II (1975), Black Sunday (1977), and Ronin (1998). Frankenheimer won four Emmy Awards--three consecutive--in the 1990s for directing the television movies Against the Wall, The Burning Season, Andersonville, and George Wallace, the latter of which also received a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film. He was considered one of the last remaining directors who insisted on having complete control over all elements of production, making his style unique in Hollywood. Frankenheimer's 30 feature films and over 50 plays for television were notable for their influence on contemporary thought. He became a pioneer of the "modern-day political thriller," having begun his career at the peak of the Cold War.He was technically highly accomplished from his days in live television; many of his films were noted for creating "psychological dilemmas" for his male protagonists along with having a strong "sense of environment," similar in style to films by director Sidney Lumet, for whom he had earlier worked as assistant director. He developed a "tremendous propensity for exploring political situations" which would ensnare his characters.Movie critic Leonard Maltin writes that "in his time [1960s]... Frankenheimer worked with the top writers, producers and actors in a series of films that dealt with issues that were just on top of the moment—things that were facing us all." more…
