An average movie

Obviously, Robin Williams is known first for his comedies (which are most of the time fun to watch, even though, he can get obnoxious sometimes) and his overly sentimental dramas (as you can guess, I'm not really a fan of those). However, from time to time, he tries some other stuff like this movie for example. It is a rather unknown flick but, I must say, it did work pretty well for him. Indeed, for once, he toned down the hysteria and gave a really decent performance. The plot is some kind of science-fiction story about manipulating memories (sounds a little bit like 'Inception' actually....). Like many modern SF, this world is pretty similar to ours, with the addition of a few obligatory futuristic gadgets but the whole thing was rather convincing. Eventually, even though the concept was rather intriguing, I was still not really blown away as it was still rather half-baked and reminded me of too many (better) SF flicks I have seen before. Still, it is an intriguing and original SF flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you want to see Robin Williams in something different.
