What critics compared An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge to
One sequence suggests a mini-“Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.”
There are so many flashbacks, flash-forwards, flash-sidewayses and flash-perpendiculars that you suspect the whole thing might be a coke-seizure Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge with Ryan Reynolds’ character hemorrhaging on an Abu Dhabi veranda.
The soundtrack routinely goes from dead silence to pain-inducing, while Aron has flashes of memory, images of what could have been, Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge style imaginary escapes, visions of large crowds of people in urban settings, premonitions of his future wife...why?
…its Jacob's Ladder/"Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" escape clause.
