This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's one of the best psychological horror movies I've ever watched. It's about a man suffering from opioid-induced psychotic disorder and spiraling out of control, while his family is desperately trying to help him. From reading people's reviews, it becomes apparent to me that most people didn't even understand what the movie was even about and blame the movie of their own lack of understanding, which is kind of amusing to me.… Expand

This film currently has a low rating (38 critic, 5.4 user) and many bad reviews. But I've read some these reviews, and all of the bad ones and even some of the good ones - misunderstood the film or didn't understand it fully. I can see this film becoming cult in the future.
This film explores and exploits the idea of the unreliable narrator to the maximum. It poses so many questions, answers them, but then takes away the answer. It keeps the two far sides of the possibility so precisely balanced and strong, that you could tie a string in-between, and the tension would be literally palpable. The tension that keeps guessing and wondering the entire film, until the Very Last Second.
This film is incredibly dystopian but also incredibly utopian at the same time, and you can't help but feel for the only unlucky bastard in the world, who might know the absolute truth.… Expand

I think to properly appreciate the movie you need to have some experience with addiction in your life. My husband was an addict.

My husband was an addict. Therefore, I will say, it is not possible to "miscast", to believe so would say that everyone isn't subject to addiction-that there is a "type" and "not me". Commentary like "it was boring" also really means nothing because that is also part of addiction. I had my brother-in-law tell his daughter once (when she asked WHY he did drugs), "because he was bored". I was kind of upset about the parts of the story not tied up in a bow, but that also is part of addiction. My husband died of an overdose and I still don't know why or understand it - hence the confusion fits, too. In short, I think people who have had to deal with addiction before will kind of "get it" better than those who don't. But no one will "get it" all the way - because that is the nature of addiction. I kind of enjoyed it, kind of made me sad (due to husband), and kind of wished parts of the story were explored more definitively because that is my nature - to want a complete story with all questions answers and tied up in a bow. But addiction isn't like that so...… Expand

An amazing story that tells the story about a person lost in the abuse of drugs, living in his own alternate reality not knowing what is real and not any more. It is a real heartbreaking story if you understand what is happening in the movie.An amazing story that tells the story about a person lost in the abuse of drugs, living in his own alternate reality not knowing what is real and not any more. It is a real heartbreaking story if you understand what is happening in the movie. It is sad that people do not seam to understand the movie and what it is really about. Even the description of the movie on IMDb is totally wrong for some odd reason. To me this movie was excellently executed. If you know people how have struggled with similar issues you will probably understand the movie and the story a bit better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie deserves a higher rating. Absolutely phenomenal! Newly divorced and just fired... probably due to his mind focused on this alleged, "second" life he has. Drawing pictures at work of his second home and not showing his kids mother any attention led him to receiving termination and a divorce, along with residency at the hotel. His "soul mate" just was lying and really wanted her experiment to work out, so getting him to forget his family just wasn't happening! I watched it twice and probably will watch it again. Great film!… Expand

The cringe haunts me every day. I can't get it out of my head. The movie was so TERRIBLE, and SO CRINGEY, that I don't even know what to think. Sure, drugs are a hell of drug. But this movie is so anti drug that they go through great lengthsThe cringe haunts me every day. I can't get it out of my head. The movie was so TERRIBLE, and SO CRINGEY, that I don't even know what to think. Sure, drugs are a hell of drug. But this movie is so anti drug that they go through great lengths to make it the cringest thing imaginable. Notable excerpts are "they rebooted him!" And "brain box." My god. The movie is so actually terrible that it's making me near suicidal again. I can't handle the level of cringe that this movie has. The entire movie is so poorly written that I firmly believe the writers thought they were geniuses. And what does that have to say about Bill Nye being in the film? That drug addicts are the only ones that respect him? This movie can go straight to f**king h**l. Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek are now my least favorite actors. I will never watch a movie with either of them in it again. You can go ahead and be like "well, I think it sends a powerful message" blah, blah. No. No it doesn't. You're a pretentious a**hole that has no idea what drug addicts are like. I have a few cousins that are heavy drug addicts. I've never witnessed them or their friends doing anything this CRINGEY. Drugs ruin lives in excess, but this is pure disgusting propaganda and I have no respect for anyone who worked on this film. Not only do I think that my time was wasted, but I feel as if staring at a wall for 48 hours, would have been a better use of my time than the 2 hours it took to watch this horsesh*t. Usually when a film is terrible, you can just make fun of it, but this movie was so terrible that I was in shock from how terrible the movie actually was. The entire time, it was like "does this movie even have a plot or a point?" And yes, it does. It's plot is to waste your time so horribly that it feels like you've been violated.… Expand

Owen Wilson plays a man who unfocused an dbewildered, until a mysterious woman (Salma Hayek) appears to make things even more confusing. This sci-fi tale takes a while to generate interest and even when it develops into something somewhatOwen Wilson plays a man who unfocused an dbewildered, until a mysterious woman (Salma Hayek) appears to make things even more confusing. This sci-fi tale takes a while to generate interest and even when it develops into something somewhat intriguing, it never gets good. The concept skims the surface, so it’s harder for the actors to dig in. Compounding that is the basic premise, which is never clearly explained and an ending that’s completely unsatisfying. No thrills, action, emotion, originality or even cool special effects.… Expand
