“Volition” (** out of four) was an ambitious but unmoving melodrama about a man (Adrian Glynn McMorran) with an afflicted sense of clairvoyance who attempts to change fate and alter the universe timeline when a series of events leads to a vision of his own murder. Writer/director Tony Dean Smith shows some promising ideas and tells his story with a nimble and stylish hand but film wears you out after a while and never quite connects with you emotionally. For a more moving and compelling look at similar material, watch “The Dead Zone”, “The Gift”, or “Minority Report” instead.
