Underrated

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2003)

**Spoilers**
I saw this film on Sky last night and I have to say it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I had no idea that after the crash things would go so dreamlike and strange. I am glad I hadn't read too much about the plot as it would have ruined the entire film just like if you already knew the ending to The Others or The Sixth Sense.
I really enjoyed this movie, it was disjointed and confusing in places but this all kind of makes sense at the end when you discover most of the film was a lucid dream. The idea that Cruises character had ruined everything by getting in the car with Diaz was a little tragic. At the nightclub when things start going wrong you can't help but feel a little sorry for him, as his brain has been affected too, and he ends up pushing away the only woman he's ever cared for. I found the story gripping and I never quite knew what was happening. My thoughts would be changing every other scene as I first thought he was being tricked so the board could get rid of him, then I thought maybe he HAS killed someone because he's going mad, then finally it all became clear. There were some great performances from the cast which helped move the far-fetched plot along. A special mention must go to the soundtrack too, which i thought was perfectly suited and helped bring out the emotion in the film.
I would recommend everyone watches this film at least once, it's the kind of film you have to see for yourself. If I had gone on other peoples opinions I would never have seen it and I personally found it ultimately moving. This movie has the ability to really touch you or leave you cold, depending on what kind of person you are. Go see it.
