Well its not as bad as I was expecting ... But the fact is it is just like a TV movie ... Its coherent, but thats about all ... There is absolutely no tension ... The visuals are bland ... There is only one scene involving Brody's back story that shows any of the old Argento flair and imagination Brody's performance stinks ... How anyone can employ this man is beyond me... He can't act ... And he's annoying to have to watch ... And in this he is particularly simpering Its better than The Card Player ... But then what isn't ... And at least we haven't got to put up with bloody Asia again ... OK she's sexy ... So what ... She is crap in her fathers films ... She works better with others When "mediocre" comes into play with an Argento film you know things aren't good ... The fact is "Sleepless" has been his only good film in the last 20 years Unfortunately it is becoming more and more obvious that the guy is an old hippie ... And completely unable to develop out of that ... Its so bloody obvious with his embarrassingly awful scenes in clubs, which he obviously knows nothing about ... And his completely daft view of the internet Argento's big problem these days is he tries to be modern ... If he just got on with making a film like he used to he'd have much more success ... Cos this sort of stuff just isn't interesting. gory or strange enough for todays audiences and doesn't have any of the dreamlike quality and beauty and startling visuals of his classic work to satisfy the old fans Really " Dario "Stop trying to be modern " is all one can say
