The concept is typical Philip K. Dick: "What if you can see two minutes into your own future? What disastrous situations could you avoid?"
Yes, it shows how it could be used to make a girl sympathize with you, and it can also be used for the good of the world.
Unfortunately, in this movie, Nicolas Cage of the bad hair has to be forced into that role, when (and this is where my suspension of disbelief snaps) both the US government and Russian terrorists are after him because he could spoil their bad guys' plot for a nuclear detonation in LA.
I also agree with critics that it would have been better with either a younger actor in the lead role or an older actress as Cage's love interest.
Cool images: Cage needing to take a punch to impress a girl, not avoid all her ex-boyfriend's punches; the landslide on the mountainside sequence.
