I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

A Major Disappointment

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is a movie-festival film I would say. "Movie buffs" will woo Hopkins for his great artistry, while regular people will hate it, or at least won't "get it". In general, I like movies of any kind. I've seen very good and very bad ones. If Hopkins isn't insane then this film is just too artsy for me. Didn't like it at all; the first 20 minutes were chaotic. In the end the story gets some closure, but it's too random or unstructured as a whole in my opinion. On IMDb the genres are comedy, drama, fantasy. Drama and fantasy okay but I didn't even chuckle once. While watching (at increased speed) I found myself doing other things, which implicates the story wasn't very catchy. Would not recommend.

What is it that you want out of movie? To not utilize your brain? To not use critical thinking? To be spoon-fed the plot, summary and theme? If you answered "yes" then go watch something from Disney. In my honest opinion, a good film stimulates brain function. A great film leaves you pondering for hours after the credits. A fantastic film leads you to write reviews on the internet to chastise those who have become mindless, brainless robots that can only comprehend straight-forward thinking. This film is not for the weak-minded. So, if you haven't a weak mind or a dim wit, then I say give it a go! If, after watching this film, you feel confused and possibly agitated, then Bravo! You CAN actually use your brain....aaaahhhhh feels so good!

What goes through a screenwriter's mind? When does everything merge into everything else and become one huge canvas where you can draw from everything at once? This is the premise, I gather, of the film. Anthony Hopkins has written and directed a stream of consciousness surreal film that allows us, the viewer, to evaluate the actions and scenes for what they mean, which could be something or nothing at all. The casting of the film is brilliant, with Christian Slater, Jeffrey Tambor, S. Epatha Merkerson, and others too numerous to mention all giving a performance of lifetime in a film which really doesn't have a plot at all. Is this the movie that flashes before one's eyes at the moment of transition? Rated R for language and some violence, this is definitely not for the timid or the weak, and certainly not one for the Entertainment Tonight set. Don't get me wrong, I like to be entertained as much as the next guy, but watching Slipstream is more like attending a showing of Dali's paintings or reading a Virginia Woolf novel. This one gets into your head. Collectible like the volumes of Shakespeare you have on your shelf, you have to open your mind to the possibilities.

I've always liked Anthony Hopkins. That's why when I was looking at his filmography, I automatically went out to rent Slipstream when I saw it because I had no idea what it was. While watching this I had extremely mixed thoughts. A couple of words I was thinking this movie was is interesting, heavy, weird, ludicrous, entertaining, head-ache inducing, good but only in small doses, cool, great. The movie is a day inside the mind of director Felix Bonhoeffer (Hopkins). He thinks up Kevin McCarthy fan bank robbers, Ray (Christian Slater), and Mort (Michael Clarke Duncan), weird actors, and recent and past memories. The movie is only stuff going on inside his head. This gets a little old. The nice thing is the beginning leads to a great twist at the end. I think the twist saved a lot of the head-aches I got during the course of this movie. It's a movie that will be good if you watch it 10 minutes by 10 minutes. If you watch it at one time, it will induce major headaches. That's exactly why I watched it twice. The second time watch it at one time, it will really sink in with you. This is why I am recommending this movie with reservations. Those reservations being watch it in small doses the 1st time, and at one time the 2nd time, and be ready to switch your brain tunes every minute or so, because it will require different parts of your brain to fully understand this interesting but only mildly rewarding and satisfying film.
