Sick Product of a Sick System

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

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

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The director could not have picked better actors for this film than Nick Stahl and AnnaSophia Robb. Every movie that I have seen AnnaSophia act in, she has taken her role seriously, with the fullest extent of her acting ability, and to heart.Nick plays the uncle, James, and AnnaSophia plays James' niece, Tara. The two are locked in position with their own dark pasts (Tara dealing with her mother's sudden disappearance after her mother had been unable to look after her due to her lifestyle, and James being the dark memories of his abusive father with him and his sister Joleen *Tara's Mother*).Now, I am not going to get into detail on everything the movie is about, because I honestly think you really should see the film if you haven't already, and I am not going to spoil it. However, the movie takes you to the dark place (Dennis Hopper plays a dark, twisted, and excellent Role as the Father of James and Joleen). It takes you through the emotions of hitting rock bottom, a child's world upside down in the eyes of a 12 year old, a mother's struggle to hold on, and with no other alternative, a return trip to the farm of evil.10/10 P.S.: When about to watch this film, remember the words of AnnaSophia Robb herself - "You've got to keep your mind wide open."

The movie have great performances(the best is Anna Sophia Robb) and it is a little movie, but the history is poor and the cast have almost nothing to do on the scenes. Charlize performance is nice and she is a great actress. Nick Stahl is not one actor that i love to see, but he is a very good actor. But Anna Sophia Robb is brilliant, she is the best of the movie, with no doubts and she can do all the type of movies and still be great. But the only missing part of the movie is basically the most important: the history. Is so nice to watch a beautiful drama and get touched by the history, but the history is not so great.Isn't bad, but could be very better.....

I'll give you two: AnnaSophia "Bridge to Terabithia" Robb and Nick "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" Stahl. Their performances in this fledgling directorial effort from Bill "The Chumscrubber" Maher are simply outstandingly well-crafted realizations, assisted by other fine showings from the likes of Charlize "The Devil's Advocate" Theron, Dennis "Easy Rider" Hopper, Woody "Cheers" Harrelson, and Deborra-Lee "Hugh Jackman is one lucky wolverine!" Furness. Zac "The Chumscrubber" Stanford's script gives them everything they need to create a lasting relationship in an impermanent world, drawing the audience deep into their dysfunctional tragedy. Anyone who appreciates intelligent storytelling and great acting should be pleased.Essentially a coming-of-age movie (and not just the youngster), "Sleepwalking" follows the odyssey of a man and his niece. It's a fine character-driven piece, thanks to great work from its leads, dialog with a resonance of truth, and excellent DP work from Juan Ruiz "Glengarry Glen Ross" Anchía. It's a shame that so few IMDbers have seen this one, but it's their loss. Sure, it's not targeted to the twenty-something crowd. Sure, the explosions and other eye-candy are lacking, but you know, kiddies, sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and try something outside your normal purview. You might just find out that you've been denying yourself a lot of interesting entertainment.Btw, those who might complain about the unlikelihood of James seeking out his father (in light of what we learn about them both) should have paid closer attention to the dialog, and to the relationship between James and his sister, for some subtle hints. Sometimes one cannot escape one's oppression with mere physical distance.

I watched this movie because I like AnnaSophia Robb a lot. I think she is an actress with a great potential and she is so cute too. She was "almost OK" but the movie wasn't. It started very bad and finished ten times worst.The movie is pointless, too slow and boring. It makes you sleep... and very deeply.The character of Nick Stahl was terrible and so stupid. It had some awful scenes like the fight with his father or when the boss got fired him. I think Charlize Theron is a great actress but in this movie was very bad too.Watch this movie only if you suffer insomnia. It can help you. Otherwise watch something else...
