Sleepwalker

Acting was great, considering the script and story was absolute bobbins. I didn't get it at all, I followed it all the way through but didn't get the point of the story. None of it made sense.

Another poster nailed it. The last screens explained it all quite tidily. Only thing I don't understand... the folks that didn't understand lol Excellent film and I'm glad I watched it.

I have to go against the grain here and say that I absolutely loved 'Sleepwalker' although it did take me a second viewing to spot the main reveal explaining exactly what was happening.

The explanation is there clear as day and it does tie in to the rest of the story really well, but the film deliberately brings the viewer into a state of as much confusion as the main character so it is very easily overlooked.

As a huge fan of Christopher Nolans Memento, there are vague similarities at a stretch with the main similarity between the two being the level of confusion. Otherwise there isn't really a great deal in common between the two.

If you're a Memento fan, but have watched it so many times that it no longer holds that level of mystery or confusion anymore then Sleepwalker is a good candidate to confuse the hell out of you.

Thankfully, Sleepwalker ties the end up pretty well.

Well worth a watch if you're into Mindbenders.

The acting was OK and the directing was good. The mood of the film was exactly what I think it should have been and the tension keeps increasing as the movie goes, so it was captivating. All in waiting for the end that will explain it all. Alas, it kind of went the way of Phantasm, where you don't know where reality begins and fantasy ends, thus invalidating most of the qualities of the production.

I liked the main character. A gorgeous redhead who doesn't act all passionate and crazy, but coolly tries to figure out a situation that would have made most people crack. The other characters were kind of secondary, but they did their job in a story that is about what's going on in the lead's head. Perhaps I wasn't in the mood for mind bending movies, but I also generally hate films that end with "oh, it was all in their head" or "they were all dead" (yes, not a fan of Jacob's Ladder), so I didn't enjoy the ending at all.

Bottom line: with so many good things in this film - including Izabella Scorupco who is still hot as hell and Ahna O'Reilly moving around in white underwear - I really wanted to like and understand the film and I just couldn't. Too bad.

If you don't watch a lot of movies, you might find this one to be entertaining. If you have watched a lot, then you'll notice how unimaginative this movie truly was. I don't have particularly high standards for all movies. But if you're going to be a slow burn, at least have a good ending. The ending was a letdown. Truly a waste of time.
