    Time chasing goes in circles 1 Star Review
    2008-01-17 - "Stealing Time",with its complicated strands of narrative,sounds promising. There's the Eric Bana lookalike Peter Facinelli as Alec, a producer dying of a brain tumor. His compatriots are Casey (Scott Foley),Trevor (Ethan Embry) and Sam (Charlotte Ayanna). The metaphysical frosting on the cake is a brief cameo by Jennifer Garner for no apparent reason.

    "Stealing Time" has the college friends trying to recapture the idealism of their youth. Alec decides to pull off the most successful heist in history. There are disguises, various chases, hiding out in diners. Outwardly, the plot makes sense.. until it doesn't. The movie has an unsatisfying climax of Alec's friends mourning him at his grave, complete with a voice-over about living life to the fullest. "Stealing Time" has a "twist ending" that really doesn't work. "Stealing Time" is considered an "indie cult" film,and an ideal companion to another cheesy time traveling work made in Vermont-"Time Chasers." As the college buddies would say "Go Castleton!"

    A Great Surprise 5 Star Review
    2006-04-27 - In a time of sucky films, I give Stealing Time and its filmmakers kudos for keeping me engaged and making me care about these four young characters who, despite their Hollywood good-looks, did a fantastic job on screen with seemingly poinant direction. The photography was that of a big studio movie. And great ending!! Why didn't we hear about this film?!!! Put it in your queue.

    Ow 1 Star Review
    2006-02-08 - "Stealing Time" actually dates back to 2001 when it was mysteriously titled "Rennie's Landing". Which explains how director Marc Fusco was able to afford this cast of now established television/movie actors in what is obviously an extremely low budget production. About ten minutes into the film you understand why this thing never got a theatrical release after it made the film festival rounds several years ago.

    Its recent distribution by Franchise Pictures probably reflects a perception that the rising popularity of certain cast members can be milked to recover some of the modest production costs. Although not a great addition to anyone's resume, young actors have done worse things when they were desperately seeking acting work of any kind.

    Peter Facinelli, Ethan Embry, Scott Foley and Charlotte Ayanna play college friends who do an early "Big Chill" reunion and compare war stories about the failure of reality to measure up to their dreams.

    Unfortunately nothing else happens, absolutely nothing. Yes Alec (Facinelli) dreams about a liquor store holdup and a bank robbery, which are then "cheaply and lamely" staged to completely inappropriate music. It is the least suspenseful bank job since W.C. Fields was the guard in "The Bank Dick".

    If anyone can point to any moment in "Stealing Time" where something "actually" happens I would like to know about it, because as far as I can tell, not a thing happens in the whole film. Perhaps Fusco, through incessant visual reflections, is trying to say something profound about taking control of one's life before it is too late. Like "St. Elmo's Fire" the movie is littered with every profound thought ever uttered by a young adult who has left the ivory tower to experience the real world for the first time.

    I felt Fusco was going for a kind of Howard Hawks Young Professionals in Action "Only Angels Have Wings" motif. Then again, I'm sure I was reading much too much into the film. After all, things actually happen Howard Hawks films.

    Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

    STEALING TIME AND WE'RE THE VICTIMS 3 Star Review
    2005-04-07 - Movies that play with your mind and immerse you in a complex plot are fine with me; however, when the movie ends and you wonder what the filmmakers were trying to do, then that's a different story. STEALING TIME features some fine performances from its attractive cast: Peter Facinelli (Who has to be Tom Cruise's secret brother) plays Alec, a rather self-absorbed and cynical producer wannabe who discovers he has an inoperable brain tumor and is going to die; Scott Foley (Scream 3, Felicity) is the all around nice guy Casey, who we discover had a secret life with a young lady (Jennifer Garner in a real quick appearance); Ethan Embry as the wannabe actor Trevor; and Charlotte Ayanna (Training Day) as the wannabe do gooder Sam. The movie starts out slowly and it's hard to stay interested until the interesting premise of robbing a bank enters the picture. Where the movie goes wrong is in its manipulating of time to confuse its audience as to what is and what isn't happening. It's metaphysical resolution is where we are robbed of what could have been a satisfying film experience, but in spite of the performances, the conclusion is so unacceptable, I found it hard to give it the three stars, which are mainly for the cast.
