Why did Liz set her watch ahead 7 minutes?
In the movie "Next", with Nicholas Cage, as Cris plans his escape from the Cliffhanger motel, he tells Liz to set her watch ahead by 7 minutes.
I figured that would come into play later in the story to misdirect the villains in some clever way. But nothing about her watch, or her perception of what time it was, had any effect on the outcome.
So, what was the point of it?
Best Answer
She's not setting her watch ahead 7 minutes, she's setting an alarm or timer for 7 minutes ahead.
Essentially, he's telling her to wait 7 minutes (until 9.17) and then do something so he can coordinate his timing with her actions.
Recall that just before starts his escape from the motel, he checks his watch and it's 9.17
