About this movie

Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) writes, produces and makes his directorial debut with this timeless supernatural fantasy based on Mark Helprin's best-selling novel. Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, it is a story of miracles, crossed destinies and the age-old battle between good and evil. Colin Farrell plays a turn-of-the-century Irish thief who encounters a terminally ill heiress while robbing her house. Falling irrevocably in love with her, his only option is to discover a way to stop time and bring her back from death. In addition to the sweeping, romantic story, Akiva Goldsman's passion project features a remarkable roster of acting talent including Downton Abbey's Jessica Brown Findlay and Oscar® winners Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind), William Hurt (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Eva Marie Saint (On the Waterfront) and Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

Ratings and reviews

This picture actually is based on the the real battle between good and evil. For instance. How many times have you watched on the news or TV about a person who just won a full scholarship to an prestige school only to be killed by a bullet that wasn't meant for them. The devil and his minions will try everything to stop whatever miracle they might bring to the world. Outstanding movie

This was a terrible movie. The only redeeming factor was Will Smith as the devil, which was a nice surprise seeing as though we didn't even know he was in it. Complete waste of time. If I could give zero stars I would. 2 hours of my life I will never get back.

This is an exceptional movie about true love and how true love never dies. I loved it the first time that I saw it and when the movie came to Google Play, I just had to purchase it. You're not going to get the whole movie in a trailer and they are not going to reveal spoilers, this movie was well written and the surprising role of Will Smith was something that I did not even foresee. Russell Crowe also gave a fantastic performance and Colin Farrell was very amazing. Supporting actors were great.
