Based on the Japanese light novel All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, a military officer is brought into an alien war against an extraterrestrial enemy who can reset the day and know the future. When this officer is enabled with the same power, he teams up with a Special Forces warrior to try and end the war.

(Director Doug Liman, Production 2009~2012-13 -> Release Date 060614, Budget $178 Million -> Box Office $369.2 Million, Duration 1 hr 53 mnts, Genre - Action, Alien, Sci-fi, Groundhog Day/Time Travel)

+ Solid futuristic action flick with well-realised time loop concept and unconventional hero's journey with a strong heroin
+ Skillful use of the time mechanic with a nice balance of fast action and dark humour, nicely complementing the bleak yet stylish world
+/- Third act of the movie use the usual movie hero tropes, clashing with the tempo set up before, which can be a deterrent
