  1. Well acted and crisply directed, this latest version can at least make a claim to competence.
  2. 60
    A solid, interesting B-movie, in another season it would seem a good deal fresher.
  3. Let's just say that not revealing this film's idiotic intricacies would be like not divulging that the fish is rotten lest the news spoil the surprise of food poisoning. [28 May 1999, Friday, p.A]

    Excellent sci-fi film, its ideas pre-date The Matrix and Inception. Multi-level reality and simulated worlds. I really liked this film, also the 1937 setting is excellent and well done. Expand

  3. Unbelievably nonchalant in it's approach to existence and has none of the power exhibited by 'The Lawnmower Man'. It's simply uninspiring and feels like a real cold attempt at being daring or unique. All I could understand was how sarcastic this idea felt and that how the director has made a film that is inconsiderate to audience expectations. There is so little intelligence, flair or creativity on show that the good visuals are undermined. 40/100 Expand
