Sleep Dealer
(1 votes, average: 3.00 out of 5)
Loading ...Sleep Dealer is a Spanish movie set in the near future where people can plug into a network (think The Matrix) and use it for a variety of things. The main use for this network is to provide jobs for people. In this particular case, Mexico employs people as Sleep Dealers to work in America as construction works, nanny’s, etc without the people actually being there. Robots taking the place of them.
It is about a kid who accidentally gets his father killed and travels to the city to get money for his family by working as a Sleep Dealer.
It seemed like a very low budget indie movie, maybe a little heavy on the special effects which were a little subpar. I think the movie didn’t go deep enough, I think it focused too much on unimportant stuff. The acting was ok, I’m not too familiar with Spanish cinema, but it looks like even they are putting out better stuff than Hollywood.
Overall the movie was decent, if a little slow. I had watched Avatar the same day so I was in a sci-fi mood when I watched it. If you’re a sci-fi cinema geek definitely check it out, otherwise you might not like it.
