Open Your Eyes Details

Open up your ending

Open your eyes is a mind screw of a movie, it keeps you tense and on edge till the very end and does its best to freak you out along the way which it does a very good job of. You are constantly trying to figure out what is going on but it always manages to keeps you spooked and guessing. It's the sort of film that would give you disturbing nightmares that would wake you up with a silent scream, kicking like a pony. It's superior to "Vanilla Sky" in almost every way, even though the Tom Cruise remake is a scene for scene rip off, even going so far as to getting Penelope Cruz back in to reprise her role. Its as if Tom Cruise said "..ooh I wish I'd been in that film and played opposite her, she's gorgeous... actually I think i'll do just that. " He can, so he does. If I had loads of money I'd remake "The Matrix" with me in it instead of Keanu. Anyway back to "Open Your Eyes" - its main failing is its ending, once you find out what's actually being going on its not half as satisfying as you want it to be and the more you think about it the more it annoys you. If they'd left it more ambiguous it could have been a classic.

Interesting, bizarre, unpredictable, quite disturbing really..........did not know this was the original of Vanilla Sky, being a Hollywood anti-fan then i suppose this was a good thing although I suppose watching the reamke would be a good idea to compare...............it was different, simple and weird twist at teh end of all the questions, why everything did not add up in this man's life............would watch again I think............
