If you pin a whole movie on the single lead endangering everyone because of his obsession with his dead wife, you ought to make us care about who's in danger. All we know about them is what their jobs are; I didn't even notice particularly different voices among them.

Man, and I was the half of the couple who likes the film, heh. I DO love the film's structure especially. Fantastically creative and unique; I liked feeling like I was in a dream myself. In fact, twice during the movie I caught myself thinking, "man, this is the best dream about a dream ever."
