Few movies can pull off the “real time” thing successfully, meaning the 2 hours you watch it there’s only 2 hours passing in the movie. I thought this movie nailed it out of the park.

Ironic that Kiefer Sutherland played the bad guy in a movie that's real time, later starring as the protagonist in a show that's real time.

How so?

a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

Bad guy in a piece of real time media.

Later plays a good guy in a piece of real time media.

Technically Sutherland starred in 24 first as it came out in 2001. This movie came out in 2002.
