Okay, so this has been bugging me for a while and my totes 1337 internetz skillz have failed me, so...
Years ago, I caught a couple of minutes from some film or series. From what I could gather, it was a time/dimension traveling kind of story, that specific type in which only the character's consciousness actually travels, not their physical body, so they actually inhabit someone else's in this alternate time/dimension... or it might conceivably be a Groundhog Day scenario.
Anyway, the particular scene that stuck in my head was, there had just been a gunfight (which may or may have not ended at this point); the protagonist had just been shot, possibly fatally. I seem to remember there being some kind of threat hanging over the whole situation, a bomb or something like that, but I won't swear by it. What mainly caught my attention was, the protagonist sat back down, shot and having ostensibly failed at whatever it was he had been trying to do, but regardless, he sat back contentedly and smiled, feeling the onset of yet another jump/reset. This was indicated by an overlay of a running water effect over the scene.
Not much to go on, I know, and to make matters worse, I've no idea whether this was a movie or an episode in some series.
"So what do you know, that you could possibly expect anyone to be able to help?", you might quite justifiably ask. Well... I know I watched it some time during 2010, later 2009 at the earliest. It didn't seem all that old to me, so I would guess it must've been from the 80's on. I also know, from looking into it, that it wasn't The Butterfly Effect, Source Code, or any of the Trancer movies.
TL;DR, a 1980-2010 movie/series in which time/dimension traveling or time-looping was indicated by a running water overlay effect.
Oh, and feel free, also, to make this a general "help me remember that movie/series" topic, in the (very likely) event that no one has the slightest clue what I'm talking about... those are always fun.
