This is an entertaining episode, with a natural twist from the usual ‘seeing into the future’ routine to include a camera that takes photos of what will occur some five minutes in the future.
Obviously this special talent, once discovered, can only be used in so many ways that would be seen as useful, but our criminal duo and the addition of a brother, having stolen the camera in the first place, soon discover ways in which to utilise it to make all the money they can.
The episode moves along nicely, and even the strange addition of the French waiter into the mix doesn’t seem to harm the flow. It is only once we reach the climax of the story, where the camera spits out its final two photographs that don’t seem to add up that everything begins to spiral apart for everyone within the hotel room.
As mentioned, this is an interesting deviation from the norm, and it is another of those Serling episodes where anyone who steps out of line ends up being dealt with appropriately… in the Twilight Zone…
Rating: Say cheese! 4/5
