Its nightmarish vision of 70s New York as a manifestation of PTSD-driven hell on earth is compromised by its perfunctory plot, which trades in the sort of exposition and twists of a lesser thriller. Still, the highs are fantastically high.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense and mystery of the beginning, the reveal of the second half fell flat on its belly in my opinion. Acting great throughout, as are the images of hell and damnation, but that is not enough to lift it from mediocrity.

The last bit of the movie is almost too stale for it to be successful which sucks, because I bought into these hellish scenes and demonic characters expecting a more delirious twist to tie this all together.

Loses its momentum as a chaotic paranoiac thriller all too quickly; which is a shame because there are so many brilliantly chilling moments in the first quarter of the film. Tries to shoe-horn in a conclusion about accepting your fate with hallmark sentimentality. Doesn't stick its landing.

A unique depiction of trauma that blends drama with a touch of psychological thriller and flashes of supernatural horror and surrealism (but the moments of stylization are rare, and they mostly exacerbate a feeling of inconsistency both in the representation of mental illness and the tone of the film). For the most part, the movie plays with reality in a way that truly emulates the terror and relief of living through a nightmare, and a handful of haunting images help it stick in the mind.

Cool premise, well done, and I'm always a fan of Tim Robbins. One of few movies that has won me over despite leaving me questioning large parts of the story even after a second viewing. I guess a third is necessary at some point.

Kind of overrated? The hospital scene is cool but that's about it and it genuinely tries to pull off an 'it was all a dream' ending. Also his son being the kid from Home Alone is super distracting. He's barely even in it! Just get a normal kid.

The first third of the movie struggles to disorient the viewer so hard, that any artistic value beneath it succumbs to a plain headache. Moreover, the directing in general is straight like stave: sudden flashbacks, sad music as the primary tool to evoke emotions, metaphors and allusions being thrown right in a face, this stuff. It's an interesting topic that have been ruined by an average execution. Not terrible, at least.
