These puzzle movies borrow techniques-like fragmented spatio-temporal reality, time loops, unstable characters with split identities or unreliable narrators-more commonly attributed to art cinema and independent films. The essays in \u003ci\u003eHollywood Puzzle Films\u003c\/i\u003e examine the appropriation of puzzle film techniques by contemporary Hollywood dramas and blockbusters through questions of narrative, time, and altered realities. Analyzing movies like \u003ci\u003eSource Code\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Butterfly Effect\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDonnie Darko\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDéjà Vu\u003c\/i\u003e, and adaptations of Philip K.
