The lead performers, the brighter fillips in Daniel Taplitz's screenplay and Marcos Siega's assured direction make this a pleasing item overall.

If actor Ryan Reynolds isn't careful, he's going to parlay his good looks and engaging presence into a full-time job as a game-show host.

Chaos Theory peddles the usual carpe diem movie bunk.

Chaos Theory lives up, or maybe down, to its title, as it's all over the place.

Reynolds goes through his emotional paces with conviction and is developing a trademark wounded look that is quite effective.
