"I finally sat down to watch this amazing movie. It is an emotional rollercoaster 🎢 from start to finish. What is the conspiracy? Why are ex-soldiers dying? What an incredible performance from Tim Robbins. I was impressed at how he delicately showed the internal struggles of someone with PTSD and trauma, trying to live well."
"The idea of being stuck in a kind of f*cked up limbo where you're losing your ability to determine what's even real, while traversing a seemingly ongoing nightmare that's peppered with fragments of sweet dreams and recollections is painful as hell to consider. This left me in a damn near existential crisis by the time it was over, and that's just how I love my movies to hit."
"Spooky, trippy, dark and depressing are all words I would use to describe this movie. If you are a fan of the silent hill franchise well this is the movie inspired it and it really shows with haunting monsters and in-between worlds (purgatory) quality it gives off. I won’t say much about the plot because it’s one where you should just go in blind but what I will say is if your looking for a sad but trippy ride with a heavy spooky Atmosphere that will having you thinking even after your done watching watch this..or not I won’t tell you what to do. 😂😊"
"This is one of the dumbest movies ever! I’ve been dying to see it for over 30 years bc I love Adrian Lyne’s movies- Fatal Attraction, Nine And A Half Weeks, Flashdance. But this stinker did not live up to the hype. SPOILER ALERT!! They pulled the Dallas or St. Elsewhere trick on us…"

"A classic. Made me forget how much I love Tim Robbins. The dance scene is pure nightmare fuel. This is one small movie trying to encapsulate a very large, disturbing topic. A must see. "
