a groundbreaking movie that paved the way

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2011)

This movie is an often overlooked epic which paved the way for such classics as The Matrix Trilogy and Inception. Keifer Sutherland give arguably his best performance ever in this film, even if as a "supporting" actor. If you enjoy Sci-Fi and are a fan of Inception or The Matrix, you owe it to yourself to rent this flick and watch it. Do yourself a favor and watch the Director's Cut if you can find it... if not, ,avoid possible spoilers and mute the opening narration until Sutherland looks at his pocket watch.
The Editing is fast but tight, averaging almost one cut per 2 seconds at its fastest. The Cinematography is first rate... The script is solid, and although it can be hard to follow if you don't pay attention, there is nothing wrong with it as presented... just pay attention.
