Against Time

Most of us eventually wonder what we might have become.

Is Z.T. about to discover what he became?

About to finish high school, budding inventor Z.T. (Ean Mering) dreams of escaping both his sleepy town and his gloomy, widowed Dad, COLE (Craig T. Nelson). But his ambitions get a stunning reality check with the arrival of ZACK (Robert Loggia), a raving, 68 year-old drunk claiming to be the boy’s older self. Suspiciously unable to recall the exact details, Zack is desperate to avert a single mistake he claims sent the rest of his years into a tragic spiral.

As the two forge a shaky alliance to piece together the old man’s fragile memory, Z.T. deals with pressure from his well-meaning Coach (John Amos) and courts a new love, DELENA (Emilie Jacobs). After a devastating confession from Z.T.’s father, Zack’s visit takes on new gravity, as one man, split in two by fifty lost years, realizes that both his future and past now hang perilously, in a race AGAINST TIME.

Review:

A very low-budget but very well-told coming-of-age tale with a neat twist. A popular and successful highschooler, stressed by college plans and a bad relationship with his dad (Craig T. Nelson), is accosted by a raving drunk (Robert Loggia). But that drunk turns out to be himself from decades in the future, come back in time to prevent him from making the worst decision of his life. Well written, acted and conceived, this is a great little movie for all ages.
