Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

DutchRonin This is a movie-festival film I would say. "Movie buffs" will woo Hopkins for his great artistry, while regular people will hate it, or at least won't "get it". In general, I like movies of any kind. I've seen very good and very bad ones. If Hopkins isn't insane then this film is just too artsy for me. Didn't like it at all; the first 20 minutes were chaotic. In the end the story gets some closure, but it's too random or unstructured as a whole in my opinion. On IMDb the genres are comedy, drama, fantasy. Drama and fantasy okay but I didn't even chuckle once. While watching (at increased speed) I found myself doing other things, which implicates the story wasn't very catchy. Would not recommend.

Frederick Smith What goes through a screenwriter's mind? When does everything merge into everything else and become one huge canvas where you can draw from everything at once? This is the premise, I gather, of the film. Anthony Hopkins has written and directed a stream of consciousness surreal film that allows us, the viewer, to evaluate the actions and scenes for what they mean, which could be something or nothing at all. The casting of the film is brilliant, with Christian Slater, Jeffrey Tambor, S. Epatha Merkerson, and others too numerous to mention all giving a performance of lifetime in a film which really doesn't have a plot at all. Is this the movie that flashes before one's eyes at the moment of transition? Rated R for language and some violence, this is definitely not for the timid or the weak, and certainly not one for the Entertainment Tonight set. Don't get me wrong, I like to be entertained as much as the next guy, but watching Slipstream is more like attending a showing of Dali's paintings or reading a Virginia Woolf novel. This one gets into your head. Collectible like the volumes of Shakespeare you have on your shelf, you have to open your mind to the possibilities.

moviefanwatcher Warning! Contains a spoiler! I watched this film and find it very confusing. Storyline was really mixed up and it was hard to understand at first. It was like Alan Wake game, but only more confusing. I don't recommend this film to anyone who likes direct storyline. I find it very strange when this so called writer just sat in his car and the crazy guy shot thru his windshield and the young woman was sleeping and she was not even bothered. Another strange scene was when younger hat man shot black bartender in bartender's car. The reason was what? When these two hat guys went to diner at the desert then the movie become the strangest, they was acting very weird. After that scene I realized that they were filming this film Slipstream, enough confusing eh?

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.
