Quotes

[first lines]
Peter: [narrating] Our world never stops moving. Changing. Evolving. Every day we go about our routines - work, home, family - but who are we? Who am I? You think you know your beautiful wife, your adorable kids, and who you work for. But what if you don't? And the truth, once you knew it, would change everything.
[the attack begins, then he awakes]
Alice: You have a nightmare?

Not a bad film
21 December 2018 | by sugardaddy-31900See all my reviews

Decent enough film with a little twist. Not sure about having kids in it as all they do is cry, slow you up and of course they usual "I'm gunna disregard what my parents tell me and leave to find my teddy bear thus putting everyone in even more danger". Hollywood rarely changes these days so expect the ending you're expecting.
