Roy Pulver is a former special forces agent who wakes up each morning to a new attack that ends with his death. He is trapped in a time loop caused by a secret project led by Colonel Clive Ventor, a military boss who wants to use a time machine to control history. Roy fights through assassins, follows clues, and tries to reach his ex-wife Jemma and their son Joe. The movie mixes brutal action, dark jokes, science fiction, and a story about a damaged father trying to change.
The film keeps its focus on one man's survival and family repair. Roy begins as a selfish, heavy-drinking man who has stayed away from his son, but repeated attempts force him to face what he has lost. Jemma is a scientist tied to the time device, while Michelle Yeoh and Selina Lo play skilled fighters who challenge Roy in short action scenes. The story supports persistence, fatherhood, love, and sacrifice, while the villain's plan gives the movie a simple warning about dictatorship and unchecked power.
