The power of the mind...

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2006)

This is an entertaining movie. It has to some degree the same kind of themes as for example "Matrix" or "Truman show", but I think this might be the best of these films (you could see them as a genre). This film brings to my mind some big and important works from the last decades, for example Paul Auster's "New York"-trilogy. The casting is good, quite unknown actors. The bad guys, which are clearly a tribute to Clive Barker's Cenobites, are to my opinion a little bit ridiculous and not scary at all. They feel somehow artificial, but on the other hand that fits to the idea. This is not only the deepest and best of the films mentioned before, it is also one of the most intelligent films made recently. Respect. Recommended for everybody.
