Jake Thompson "You see, Willard, in this world, things get... confused out there. Power, ideals, the old morality, practical filmmaking necessity. But out there in Hollywood with these actors, it must be a temptation to... be a director. Because there's a conflict in every human heart, between the rational and irrational, between good filmmaking and pointless, artsy-fartsy crap. And good movies do NOT always triumph. Sometimes, the dark side of the screen overcomes what Lewis called, "your best entertainment."And as you can see, by watching just 30 seconds of this rubbish, Sir Anthony has obviously gone insane.""Yes, sir. Absolutely. Obviously insane."

moviefanwatcher Warning! Contains a spoiler! I watched this film and find it very confusing. Storyline was really mixed up and it was hard to understand at first. It was like Alan Wake game, but only more confusing. I don't recommend this film to anyone who likes direct storyline. I find it very strange when this so called writer just sat in his car and the crazy guy shot thru his windshield and the young woman was sleeping and she was not even bothered. Another strange scene was when younger hat man shot black bartender in bartender's car. The reason was what? When these two hat guys went to diner at the desert then the movie become the strangest, they was acting very weird. After that scene I realized that they were filming this film Slipstream, enough confusing eh?

alr126 Why did I waste 1.5 hours of my life watching this? Why was this film even made? Why am I even commenting on this film?One reviewer said this film took patience to watch and it was n't for everybody. I cannot figure out who this movie is for. maybe after dropping a hit of acid, SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE could watch this and make some sense out of it. It is incoherent, it isn't experimental, it's plain and simple garbage. The film follows no plot line whatsoever, just when you think you have something, well.....you don't. I think the ending brought some finality to the film (no pun intended), the viewer gets a glimpse of what might have been going on. I don't think I put a spoiler in here, not that it would matter. This film is another must miss in the world of filmdom.

oscarhopkins Look, I'm sorry if half the world takes offense at this, but life is confusing enough. I don't need to watch it that way. I dig Anthony Hopkins, big time. I even watched Fracture, and I knew that would be a steaming pile of Quentin. But this thing is not well shot, and it's not daring--even if it is artsy. Well-produced films have reasons for cuts and fast edits, not this "oh, but it's a realistic interpretation" excuse. This thing'll make your head hurt. It's the fastest moving picture ever to take you nowhere at all. I still love AH, and I'll always give him another chance, but if you aren't made of time to watch bad ideas on screen, skip this.
