BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP

Plot:

Nicole Kidman plays Christine, a woman who after having recovered from a brutal accident has a severe case of amnesia that when she falls asleep and awakens she has no recollection of the previous day. She has no idea of her past and only knows that she wakes up to a man named Ben (Firth) who claims to be her husband and a phone call from a Dr. Nasch (Strong) who instructs her to chronicle her days via a digital camera hoping that she will recall some vital memories. Each day as she records on the camera she unfolds information that will unveil a shocking and dangerous secret.


Reel Talk:

Where this movie has a good storyline it is just slow on its delivery. I know it has to be stretched out for the sake of being a film, but still there could have been some more grit into the script. It gets to a point where you just get kinda tired of Kidman's clueless and boring character of the amnesia victim Christine. As I mentioned up until the surprise twist ending this film is boring and you can pretty much sleep til then. In fact they should have titled this movie Before I go To Sleep On This Film...LOL! Anyway catch this one at your own risk, but can wait for this one to reach cable.
