Overview
Hapless family man Paul Matthews finds his life turned upside down when millions of strangers suddenly start seeing him in their dreams. But when his nighttime appearances take a nightmarish turn, Paul is forced to navigate his newfound stardom.
Oh how I wanted to love this movie, but I just couldn’t get there. Cage continues his late-career surge and does a fantastic job in this role. But the movie starts to sputter in the middle and by the end it felt kind of stale. This felt like a mediocre attempt at an extended Black Mirror episode.
