Slipstream

Slipstream, Anthony Hopkins (2007)

Anthony, you are a great actor. But this film (Slipstream) you directed was terrible. I’ll give you props for trying to be experimental, but no, this is just awful. You aren’t David Lynch. I’m sorry, but I have no idea what to say. DO NOT WANT.
What is interesting though is to compare this film with the Schnabel film, both are Hollywood Experimental films, bordering on the edge of continuity, and sticking it to the man. Schnabel was able to do a good job of crossing that line, yet Hopkins went overboard.
By the way, what is up with no Q & A after the movie, Sir Anthony? Just an introduction doesn’t warrant that astronomical ticket price.
