Our take

Following the mental labyrinth of a traumatized Vietnam vet, played by Tim Robbins, Adrian Lyne’s hallucinatory political thriller walks the line between sleeping and waking. A visual masterpiece whose achievements in art direction were a great influence on the iconic Silent Hill videogame series.
