I love time travel movies and it bothers me when people can't keep up. But maybe it isn't as simple as I think it is and those people are the geniuses? You know it's going to be a time travel movie based on the title, but if you didn't know that you'd think it was a chase movie. The suspense as Hector 1 runs away from the pink bandaged man is shot and timed very well. It does feel like something horrible is stalking him through the woods. Once we realize that the pink bandaged man is Hector 2, Hector 1 further down his timeline, the tension becomes can he stop himself from originally going back in time? Then the tension moves to Hector 3, the one who's REALLY going to fix it making sure that everybody DOES go back in time when they were supposed to and that he keeps his wife safe and himself from doing anymore damage by going back a fourth time. The time loop, and the movie, is complete.
Predestination (2014) with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook is another twisted time travel drama with multiple versions of the same character but this time they all interact with each other as their timelines cross and nobody is trying to avoid anybody else.
