4/10
Did not satisfy

This film had it going on and simply fizzled out. I liked the idea, I liked the acting and how it was shot and the time sequences. I really loved the idea of having nightmares in a coma and how they could effect his outcome of life or death and related to his fears. However, by the end it really just is not worth watching. I agree with a lot of the negative reviews, although not quite as harsh as most. It has a lot of similarities to Jacobs Ladder only it makes more sense, meaning it has an explainable ending. However, Jacobs Ladder is far superior. The first half of the film really builds up and as you're watching you can't wait for it to unfold but it just whimpers out. Also, Im a big horror film fan, any and all types. The gore in the movie didn't even faze me, it simply was not compelling at all. You didn't empathize enough with the patient or cringe at what was taking place. Overall pretty weak when I thought it could have been great.
