This Metaphysical Dark Action Comedy "A MAN CALLED NEREUS" is the debut feature of writer/director Nathan Hill, for Armored Vision. Nereus is an autistic man who is being held captive by the Filaria crime family due to his unique ability to predict the exact outcome of sporting events through time travel. However, this all changes the moment he is kidnapped by a junkie who plans to take him to Las Vegas. Now on the run, the two must weave through madmen, corrupt law enforcement and new-age terrorists.

Before you choose
What kind of time-travel story is this?
Time travel is an important premise, with limited sustained exploration. This assessment is provisional.
Meets the archive’s time-travel criteria. The mechanism is classified as Biological.
Why the archive makes this assessment (spoilers)
Retain provisional 6/10. The only fresh plot listing describes an unrelated spirit-medium story, so it adds nothing to the earlier account of Nereus's future sports knowledge and the escape plot.
Nereus has a personal ability to predict exact sporting outcomes through time travel.

How Titan works
Titan combines the archive’s quality, audience and legacy base with the significance of time travel. It is an index, not a score out of 100, and is distinct from the FMV archive’s scoring model.
Titan = base × [0.20 + 0.80 × (time-travel score ÷ 10)²]
This film: 19.21 base × 48.8% weighting.
Partial inputs flag incomplete source metadata. Provisional weighting flags a time-travel assessment that remains uncertain; it receives no additional confidence penalty.
