Th worst Robin Williams i’ve watched! It is a drab slow moving stupid film not worthy of being on a DVDRated R For-Stupidity
Rating: 1 / 5
Clostrophobic non thriller with Pacino overacting all the way through it. Weak premise, weak plot only watch it if YOU are an insomniac and you’ve gone through your entire DVD stash!

I was trilled when this movie came out to rent because I had wanted to see it. I mean, it had Al Pacino and Robin Williams in it, so it had to be great, right? Well, after watching it I was wrong. This movie was totally predictable from the start, and had the same basic plot that I have seen in 40 other movies. I guess that my one star rating might be extreme, but the plot did [was bad]! I guess it might be worth watching just to see Robin Williams in a role that is non-comedic, but as to buying this movie?? I suggest going and renting it for $$$ and buying something else.

You know a movie is boring when you check your watch, half expecting to be half an hour closer to the end of the movie, and it’s really been five minutes. The most enjoyable thing I could see was watching Al Pacino’s forehead. . . you don’t even need the DVD for this. Watch him as he talks for long periods of time with wrinkles in his forehead that don’t move one bit. . . watch his eyebrows raised from plastic surgery. Truly amazing. I was expecting much more than an A to B to C to D movie where you can see the ending coming from a mile away. This was the guy that did Memento. . . hopefully, his next one will be better.

Honestly I tried watching this move THREE different times and I fell asleep during it which I find quite ironic given the title of the movie. Then again, I enjoy irony. . . however, I did not enjoy this sleeper of a film.
