Another Clairvoyant Storyline, Volition Film
Volition is one of those prediction-type storylines which has a few films under its belt. Movies like The Looper or Time Crimes use the art of clairvoyant abilities, time travel, and criminals well. Here in Volition, the story includes one man with visions who also ends up with the ability to time travel. Volition has been on the festival circuit since 2019. It was released quietly in the USA and Canada in 2020. The time-loop movie is available to rent or buy digitally (cheapest through Google Play and Amazon.)
The narrative for the Volition movie follows James who spends his life in the back alleys of fortune, a clairvoyant man skimming money from opportunistic affairs. But James discovers his own death in one of his visions and now he needs to change that path in his future. What begins as a job to steal diamonds ends with a time-bending film situation set in the house James grew up in.
Classified as a time-twisting sci-fi thriller, Volition doesn’t bring anything new to the table. There are visions, whiteboards, and formulas drawn up as James works out the best actions to take next. Everything is fairly familiar. However, director Tony Dean Smith and co-writer Ryan W. Smith’s worthy and complex narrative does a great job with interesting characters. There is also vivid pacing that never slows long enough to detract your attention.
