Hi! I’ve been trying to remember the name of a movie I watched a long time ago. I only recall fragments, but here’s what I remember:

• The main character is a man, possibly a cop or an investigator.

• At the beginning of the movie, he pretends to go on a business trip, but instead he goes to a motel outside the city with a woman (maybe his mistress or a prostitute).

• The next morning, he wakes up and finds her dead in the bathtub.

• I think there was a message written in blood above or near the bathtub.

• Most of the movie plays out like a thriller or detective story — there are no obvious sci-fi elements for the majority of the plot.

• Near the end, some kind of time loop kicks in — but it’s not the main mechanic of the film, more like it appears once or twice in the final act.

• In the ending, the killer turns out to be a Black man — I believe he was a friend or colleague of the main character. He shoots the main character with a revolver.

• I think the core message of the film was something like: the main character is a sinner and is doomed to relive his fate in a kind of purgatory or cycle.

I’m 100% sure the movie was released before 2013.
It’s not Groundhog Day, Identity, Boss Level, or Two Distant Strangers.

If anyone recognizes this film based on these details, I’d be super grateful!
