adonis98-743-186503 A woman wakes up every day, remembering nothing as a result of a traumatic accident in her past. One day, new terrifying truths emerge that force her to question everyone around her. The film's talent Cast isn't enough to keep viewers caring for it's plot or it's characters and the overall story doesn't lead anywhere in the process to be honest..

Mohamed Abdalla Amnesia can be a blessing in such a life of "Nicole Kidman". The woman who got hit,cheated on,kidnapped, and deprived from her son.The movie starts with a scene of Nicole's eyes, and yes it's a beautiful scene to start a movie with. Then we move to know that she has amnesia and living with her husband, after-that the events continue while she is trying to remember and solve the mystery behind her amnesia.The movie has really beautiful shots of different places, and the cinematographer did a great job of showing the beauty of symmetry in addition to the using of slow side to side movement of the camera which really resemble the nature of that kind of movies.There are not much people to suspect in that movie, so the finale is quiet expected but the director has a good twisted end for you.Finally, it's a good drama/mystery movie with thrill added in a perfect amount, you will enjoy it if you are looking for a small adrenaline rush.

blumdeluxe "Before I go to sleep" is based on a book I read a few years ago but don't remember in detail. It tells the story of a middle-aged woman that wakes up next to a stranger and has to learn that after a terrible accident her memory gets lost every time she falls asleep. While the plot unravels and more characters join in, she has to find out whom to trust and how much of what her environment wants her to think is actually true.I couldn't see any grave mistakes ruining the movie. Of course the concept of lost memory is not entirely new, see movies like "Memento" or if you like a slapstick version "50 first dates" and many more. Nevertheless it is still an attractive one because it provides a plausible reason to keep the viewer in uncertainty about how trustworthy certain characters are. The acting is excellent in my opinion, the movie takes its topic serious and manages to create a thrilling atmosphere. Although not all of the false leads work out in the end and sometimes you can already guess something is fishy, they still work enough times to keep the pace and tension up.All in all there are many worse movies rated better. If you're looking for a thriller that keeps you guessing I'm sure you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for an Oscar movie, keep on looking.

majaho21 "Before I Go To Sleep" is an interesting psychological thriller with an incredibly unbelievable story line. But, even if it may not work in some other movie, with other setting and actors, "Before I Go To Sleep" is a movie that can cope with this kind of events.*Spoilers* A woman (Christine, played by Nicole Kidman) wakes up next to a man (Ben, played by Colin Firth) she cannot recognize. When they start talking, he tells her that he is her husband. We find out that she had an "accident" and that she has a memory loss. Every time she wakes up in the morning, she forgets everything about the previous day. This sounds pretty crazy, but Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth keep us interested. We care about the story because of them and accept the premise of the story line. The pace of the events is fast, there are characters emerging from the past that keep us focused and we want to find out more. Being a thriller, this movie has accomplished its main goal and that is, keep the viewers agitated. However, the movie is far from being flawless. As some people have already mentioned in their reviews, some details seem very unconvincing. The married couple, Ben and Christine, have no friends, he is at work almost all the time and when he's not, he seems wicked and cunning, for no obvious reason at that time. She is in a state of confusion and partly depression but they still function "normally"- they have cooked meals, their house is cleaned and organised, although they have no maids. The house is cold, modern and we're aware it costs a lot, but it is deprived of the personal touch. There are just some photos of Ben's and Christine's wedding day - there are dozens of them all over the place and they seem suspicious from the very beginning. From the very start of the film, the husband seems suspicious, so the "unexpected" twist at the end, when we find out that the perpetrator is actually her husband Ben, is not that unexpected. We actually see what we presumed we would see after the first 5-10 minutes of watching. The only thing that may be a bit surprising is that Ben is not her husband at all. He was just a lover who beat Christine and caused all that mess.My opinion: a film worth watching, but once is enough. And I'm not sure if the viewers will remember it in a months' time.
