Time Lapse

The happy couple: Rudy and Zack. She is a nurse. He is an orderly. They wheel in a patient with a gunshot wound to his head all the while expressing their love for each other. Zack Walker is a simple man, with simple problems. All of sudden, he awakes to and finds himself in Portland. Shortly after he finds a gun in his duffle bag. He has lost two days of his life and he has no answers. “He’ll find his answers in the Twilight Zone.”

Zack blacks out from time to time and he is moving north to Seattle. He purchases a ceramic gun with his life savings in a back room deal. He misses his bachelor party and his bride to be wants honesty from him. He has no control over his journey, as he just keeps appearing someplace else. He is a nervous wreak, this just isn’t him. He realizes that he might be trying to kill the President’s daughter and he contacts the secret service to turn himself in.

He turns the tables on the Secret Service agent and he sees the target in sight: Michelle Carson is moving up an escalator. He moves closer and he shoots . . .

The ending is not expected and dumb, it didn’t make sense, at least to me. “Two lives have been exchanged to save one. Why? The answer only lies in the Twilight Zone.” My rating: F
