A wonderful movie. The directors Klugman and Sternthal have constructed a layered script that is cleverly put together: a story within a story within a story. A kind of double frame story. Each of those stories has its own dramatic moments, which gave me goosebumps more than once.

The cast is in top form and the soundtrack is also very nice. All in all, a very nice viewing experience.

Very nice movie.

Especially the part with Cooper and Saldana. Pure, lifelike struggle that they display. It's nice how the story in story in story is processed. Although the main line with Quaid and the accompanying ending feels a bit redundant. But luckily the acting is just strong and certainly contains enough atmosphere and flair not to get bored.

3.5*

Since it's valentine, we could choose between 3 free movies. We decided to choose this one.

I wasn't aware of this one, but was pleasantly surprised. It was a good story that kept you interested from start to finish. The cast was also excellent. The playing time was good, not too long and not too short.

A fine movie.
