Cure for Insomnia

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2006)

Having read and enjoyed the book, I just had to go see this movie. That is was the producers were counting on. It's too bad people like me do things like that (see movies of books they likes). I wish I had waited until it was on TV, at least the commercials would have nudged me to alertness. The overall darkness (as in lack of lighting) of the piece may have played a role, but I felt like falling asleep several times (although I did manage to stay awake for the whole thing). This movie reminded me of what they did with Dune. Without having read the book, how could anyone have followed the movie? It has a storyline that was run through a blender. I think it was supposed to be something of an action movie. Instead, it seemed like just another cure for insomnia.
