Nick and Janine Mikkelsen are living a happy life together but when her ex-husband Tommy Hambleton warps time to try and tear them apart using Nick’s old college girlfriend Alex Leslie. Can Nick hang onto his memories or does he have to accept it and let it go?

Nick thinks everything in his life is perfect with Janine who he clearly loves more than anything in the world. Tommy will not let everything go though and is still very much determined to get his ex-wife back. The time shifts and changes see Nick having memories but then not being allowed to view them and everything is because Tommy is stopping it from happening. I mean just a little bit psycho right? Well, that is certainly something that comes across when you’re watching the film.
Needle in a Timestack attempts to take the whole time travel idea and add it within different love stories and how that will have an impact on everyone else around it. The ideas behind it were ok, but the execution was pretty difficult to follow when it had too many different stages and scenes that were slow and quite frankly didn’t all add up. When having time travel within a storyline in film you at least have to try and make parts have a little bit of “oh that makes sense” as let’s face it something that isn’t real but it has to at least feel believable.
The thing is though this film does have a very impressive cast with Leslie Odom Jr and Cynthia Erivo being more in the leading roles with Freida Pinto as a secondary character. Then with Orlando Bloom in a supporting role and let’s face it as a longtime fan of his he was the main pulling point and reason for watching this film.
It is certainly the perfect type of film that goes onto a steaming service and will find it’s audience.
