Trickster

The tagline for this film - a man and a woman enter a world of lucid dreaming - has a tangential relationship to the story. Yet, it is just that - tangential. Just not a good movie, so avoid watching unless you want to be somewhat perplexed, or annoyed, and pretty much bored for the length of this film.

I decided to ignore all the reviews and the two police officers who talked about avoiding this movie. Mainly because I like to live dangerously, keep an open mind, and absolutely love coming away from situations heavily disappointed and feeling robbed of time and life.

There definitely was care, time and effort put into this film, unfortunately it soon felt as though it was someone telling a very specific story account while assuming everyone in the audience knew not only enough if not everything about the topic, but also the unique point of view the story teller was coming from.

Not a horrible movie by any means.

Acting was well done and well put together.

*NON-SPOILER*

The film started off mysterious, intriguing and at that point, left me thinking what might be to come. It soon got a little confusing and from then onwards, left a lot to be desired. Asides Erica Jenkins, who was very good, the acting looked just like that, acting, it was too stiff and scripted, it lacked an amount of naturalness all round. The film is really trying to be something it's not, I definitely won't be watching it again as it turned out to be probably one of the most unexciting films I've ever seen.

Long, drawn-out and still leaves you with a blank look on your face as to what exactly the film was about.

I really need to stop trusting the rating system here.

This entire film was just seemed to be a string of soft core adult film setup scenes with out the soft core content.
