Curious writing. Certainly confusing. Purposefully. Ending was acceptable but left many questions. Felt like there were a few changes to script along the way, less intentional. Enjoyed cast. Lead actress is wonderful. I enjoyed it for general idea of the subject matter, which i always make a point to watch. ; sleep related thrillers.
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.

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.
+1 Star For Keeping me confused as to what was going on thru the first half...
+1 Star For Some Exterior Scenes Being filmed Outside my Childhood Church
-1 Star For The Ending . Was Not Impressed By the Ending at all.
Okay this movie had a lot of build up that was well done and satisfying up to the point about 20 minutes til the end where the movie needs an adequate payoff or it really doesn't fit the bill.
In my opinion it didn't fit the bill. Does that make it a horrible movie? No of course not, but it also doesn't make it great. LOL Compare to Memento??? Please. Not even in the same horse race.
