The Anomaly is a 2014 British science fiction action film co-produced and directed by Noel Clarke, who also starred in the lead role.

Ex-soldier Ryan Reeve wakes up in the back of a moving van[1] next to a young tied-up boy, Alex, who is being held prisoner.

She identifies herself as a prostitute named Dana, who seems to remember meeting and engaging in sexual activity with a much more violent and sociopathic version of Reeve.

He must work out what is happening in bursts of exactly nine minutes and forty-seven seconds, as the control and conscious awareness of his body are repeatedly being hijacked and shuffled through different scenarios by person/s unknown.

[9] Other critics described it as "hilariously naff science-fiction mularkey"[10] and "a peculiar Brit flick best described as a noble failure"[11] and referred to "tangled conception and tortuously opaque execution"[5] and to "meag[re] rewards for those willing to endure its laborious convolutions".
