Odd (Anton Yelchin), a young short-order cook and closet psychic, sees visions of an impending massacre in his small town and sets out to stop it, using a wide variety of powers seemingly limited only by the dictates of the plot.  Willem Defoe plays the chief of police who, despite Odd's perfect record in predicting such matters, appears to be more interested in making out with his wife than in helping Odd avert the disaster.  Addision Timlin is Stormy, Odd's together-forever girlfriend, who seems to think that ignoring the advice of the guy who can see the future is her feminist birthright.  Cloyingly smug and self-consciously cute, with an ending that is more about setting up future sequels than playing fair with the audience.  Yelchin is good, though.  Based on the book by Dean Koontz.
