And if it's the current Cage starring in this film, it's rubbish.

A few words to explain the plot:

A successful man who has a successful career and no plans to marry is thrown into a parallel world by a black man who is not Morgan Freeman (I know he is Don Chiddo), who plays the role of "If thirteen years The "self" who gave up self-realization and stayed by his girlfriend's side." Yu play! After he was stripped of his status as a golden bachelor, he got a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter, stable and handy to the point of being a pediatrician, wow! Most men are envious, but he doesn't want to live such a life at all!

Stop here, let's talk about Stockholm syndrome:

(The following information is taken from Wikipedia)

Stockholm syndrome usually has the following characteristics: The

hostage must have a real sense that the kidnapper (the perpetrator) threatens him survival.
In the process of being held hostage, the hostages must realize that the kidnappers (the perpetrators) may act a little bit.
The hostage must be isolated from all other viewpoints except the single view of the kidnapper (usually without outside information).
The hostages must believe that escape is impossible.
Usually Stockholm Syndrome will experience the following four processes:

Fear: The current situation changes due to sudden coercion and intimidation.
Fear: Surrounded by an uneasy environment, both physically and mentally threatened.
Sympathy: Having lived with the hostage for a long time and realizes that the other party has acted as a last resort, and has not been "directly" harmed.
Help: Giving the captor invisible help such as cooperation, not escaping, comforting, etc.; or tangible help such as assisting in escape, interceding with the judge, fleeing together, etc.
Thinking of parallel worlds as kidnappers and hostages is analogous to the protagonist Jack, does it suddenly come to light? It turns out that Jack has Stockholm Syndrome at all!

Decisions made in life are all a bet. People have considered the consequences of choosing one more or more. How can we flatten the struggle 13 years ago and achieve the regret 13 years later? Why is family more important than career? How can the effects of a decision last for thirteen years without other branches of time and space? In the end, which idiot decided to arrange the male and female protagonists to be single?

Audiences who like this film because of the plot underestimate their own lives and ignore their decisions about life.
