Movie on DVD Review

Slipstream (2008)

Details Release Date: Feb 26, 2008; DVD Release Date: Feb 26, 2008; Genre: Sci-fi and Fantasy; With: Stella Arroyave and Anthony Hopkins

Slipstream features guns, drug use, Richard Nixon, and a Native American — yet, amazingly, it wasn't made by Oliver Stone. It's the work of Stone veteran Anthony Hopkins; the Welsh acting wizard also stars as a screenwriter whose fictional and real worlds collide. His directing impresses, but his script is a confusing and uninteresting mess. EXTRAS A workmanlike making-of featurette, three deleted scenes — including one that takes a jokey potshot at Stone's Alexander — and a commentary in which Sir Anthony usefully explains just what his dreamlike film is all about. C+
