adonis98-743-186503 Aging screenwriter Felix Bonhoeffer has lived his life in two states of existence: in reality and his own interior world. While working on a murder mystery script, and unaware that his brain is on the verge of implosion, Felix is baffled when his characters start to appear in his life, and vice versa. Extremely weird and bizzard and alongside with some weird perfomances from an excellent cast 'Slipstream' tries to be a smart Fantasy Drama but it ends up being a weird full of fast forward cuts and flashbacks that don't make sense at all..

Freedom060286 This movie isn't surreal and dream-like as some of David Lynch's work (like Mulholland Drive), nor is it visually entertaining. It's neither suspenseful nor intriguing. It's just senseless and illogical. There are some very good actors, but otherwise, there's nothing positive I can say about it. I'm not sure why Anthony Hopkins wanted to make something like this, I would have expected something better from such a great actor. After all, when great actors like Charles Laughton in his later years directed a movie, it turned out to be excellent.My advice to anyone thinking about watching this? Don't waste your time, there are plenty of better movies to see.

lukn4frnz Awful movie I want my dollar back I spent at the public library renting this posIt helped some when I watched a few minutes of the movie with Hopkin's voice-over, and he's saying (and I'm not sure I'm quoting 100% accurately), "I made this movie for me. If people liked it, fine. If they didn't, even better"Guess when you get to be rich and famous you can make crap like this. I can't believe it's rated a 5.1 from other viewersEven I a nonactor could have made something a lot better than thisCrapola

MBunge SLIPSTREAM 2007Written and Directed by Anthony Hopkins. Starring Anthony Hopkins, Stella Arroyave, Lana Antonova, Michael Clarke Duncan, Gavin Grazer, Fionnula Flanagan, Jennifer Anne Franklin, Lisa Pepper, Christian Slater, S. Epatha Merkerson, Camryn Manheim, Jeffrey Tambor, John Tuturro and Jennifer Mann.I suppose when you are as old and as accomplished as Sir Anthony Hopkins, you should be allowed to do whatever the *bleep* you want. If what he wanted to make was a stream of consciousness bit of folderol about the creative process and an old man's fear of mortality, who can gainsay that? Slipstream is not really a film. It's a collage of images, sounds and editing and camera effects. There's slow motion, fast motion, reverse motion, fades, wipes, dissolves…you name it, it's probably in here somewhere. The plot about an aged writer and an out-of-control film production doesn't make any sense, but it never tries to and clearly isn't supposed to. There's an assemblage of skilled actors put to work here, but they might just as well all be reading off the backs of different boxes of cereal. Old Hollywood actor Kevin McCarthy shows up when the movie falls into this mobius loop obsession with the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Watching this thing is like looking through the eyes of someone with a worsening case of dementia.What is there to critique about a film like Slipstream? It's deliberately and laboredly inexplicable and disassociative. There is no objective standard to which this movie aspires or adheres, so there's no utility in saying "this" is good or "that" is bad. A bunch of strange stuff happens and Anthony Hopkins wanders around on screen in what appears to be a fugue state. If that sounds like something that would blow your skirt up, have at it.
