Edge of Tomorrow

Re-watched this Warner Brothers bottle of lightning from 2014. It shouldn’t have worked. There were so many red flags: A recycled “time-loop” premise from Groundhog Day, a weird mercurial director (Doug Liman), an alien creature lifted right out of The Matrix, a dumb title and sloppy marketing campaign, etc. If I had to guess, it was the editors that saved this movie -- the pacing is perfect. And the physicality and charisma of Emily Blunt, who had an established sci-fi record by then, but was always the lady in the dress. And so... don’t we all wish we could go back and re-do things?
