A group of thieves who crash dreams to steal information is hired by a super connected industrialist to plant information instead. Borrowing from Dreamscape (1984) and mixing The Matrix (1999) style themes and action, this movie comes out swinging but alas fell short of the hype for me. I thought they over used slow motion and made scenes unnecessarily loud and busy. Some of the major story elements made no sense (why the van? why not big money's private jet?). On the plus side the idea is a cool one, even if its 30 years old, and some of the FX were very cool. Players and mechanics were all up to par and the end can be viewed as a twist, set up for a sequel, or set up for a twisted sequel. Where ever you come down on this one, its not a waste of time and will likely keep you entertained if not enthralled. Somewhere between the upper end TV dinners and really good Chinese take out.
