Synchronic is a time-traveling movie that strays away from many of the time-traveling movie formulas, giving it a fresh perspective and allows it to de-romanticize the idea of the past. Dornan isn’t the main protagonist in the way Mackie is, but he’s a critical part of the story. His bond with Mackie’s character is one of Synchronic’s main driving forces. It also gets its emotional weight because of Dennis’s missing daughter and the toll that takes on his family. Synchronic is available to rent on VOD.
