Although the performances are good and the directing is stylish and slick there are too many narrative issues to score this film much higher than a 6.
The concept of the "time travel" is never actually explained, why and how it is happening is never revealed.
The ghostly men act as if they are trying to kill Ellie the whole film and even at one point trap her on the bed only to then reveal they are on her side.
Sandy is treated as a hero at the end after her death whereas a few minutes earlier she attempted to kill both John and Ellie brutally. Why would Ellie then have sympathy for Sandy during the fire scene when she has literally just attempted to kill her and her friend?
More questions than answers at the end left me feelin unfulfilled. I will remain a fan of Edgar Wright but this was disappointing for me considering i felt the story had good potential in the beginning.
