The story is about diving into the sun. Likewise it starts slow and easy, everything is just fine and nice. Slowly tension builds up, people and events get nervous until everything reaches unbelieable chaotic state just before the end.

Lots of references to Solaris (the better one), 2001 Space Odyssey, Alien and Event Horizon. Pleasure to watch, even though it's not the easiest one. The audience is required to think during the movie!

Quite a surprise movie. A story about accident and recovery doesn't sound like much, but this might have been one of the best for this year in Action & Thrillers category. The characters are overacting just about right, making them more real and personal than what usually is possible in just one movie.

There are a lot of loose ends in the story, hope there will be a sequal. The bad guy got immediately into my hall of fame! Well, two of them actually.

Not as good as the first one, but it's still good in different category: more like a normal agent action thriller. Good action scenes, great car chases, good ending. The confused man from part 1 is almost gone now, but there's enough of him left (or missing) to add a nice human touch.

All around positive movie, spoiled by a horrible title. Actually it might be a bit too cute. Those things and tricks, which main characters are doing to each others, would be awful in real life - but not so in this movie. Nevertheless nice entertaining moment for an evening with nothing else to do. Not sure what the message was, but it doesn't really matter.

I'm a fan of Philip K. Dick, science fiction and also Nicholas Cage. Of course I liked the movie. Besides it was a good one!

Compared to others, for example Deja Vu, this was more fun, more real, more plausible, more thrilling and more enjoyable. There was some things that disturbed a bit: magic tricks and why didn't he do those when in need, those looks at camera etc. Minor issues, but could have been clearer before filming. Nevertheless a movie worth watching a second time.

I've seen this twice now and believe that I'll watch it again. It's completely non-violent, quite peaceful movie about almost the worst that can happen in normal (work / family) life with still a humourous touch.

The good guys are not too good, the bad guys are not too bad, things happen and life just goes on. Everybody just tries to hang on and survive.

Btw it's interesting to compare this to another similar but older movie:  Other People's Money (1991). This one is more realistic, but still funny. I'm really looking forward the year 2017 movie!

How can you tell a fantasy story in a realistic way? I can't quite figure it out yet, but that's what this movie is all about. The story is simple, presentation is simple, conclusion is simple - and I just wonder what was the point! Was the message that strange things can happen and you simply have to live with that? Not a bad message to tell, but there's something more in this movie that I just can't get hold of...

Last of the second Star Wars trilogy. Each part is seen through the eyes of the "hero", Anakin Skywalker, and while he grows older, so does the story grow. It would be too easy to call this as the "best" part, like so many seem to do. I'll just call it different and a great story on it's own, just like the two earlier ones were - in their own way.

Not much of a story, but told in an interesting way. Supposed to be based on real events, but self-censured close to nothingness. Still the way to tell it was so much powerful that regardless of lack of story that I actually enjoyed the film!

This should have been a good movie, there were lots of right elements: photography had slow and fast motion, low and high camera angles, very close shots of rough faces, dramatic shadowy statures on bright background. The Good Guy, but not too good, was ok, the Bad Guys were great, there were Big Boss and Femme Fatale - and somehow they managed to mess it up to be a completely outrageous failure. No start, no middle, no finish, no story, no sense at all.

I really hope there would be a Director's Cut, which would add the missing pieces and use all those right elements. As it was now, it's waste of everyone's time.

This is only for hardcore Kaurismäki or Finland fans, others would not see much point in watching it. Full of cameo with Finnish music and movie people.

The plot is a mix of everything possible and really doesn't make much sense. Matti Pellonpää is great as always!
