For the record I think John Lithgow is a great actor. Having said that, this movie is a mess. The dream sequences don't help the film and the jumping around in the narrative's timeline was not done well. The fact that Cain is a figment of Carter's imagination is way too obvious way too early into the film.
The dream sequences distort what's real or what isn't whenever they occur in this movie, and not in a good way (ie: a David Lynch arty sort of way) What made me turn this movie off was when they show Carter's wife drowning in a car pushed into a lake by Cain. A few scenes later the police are viewing her body and noting that her fingernails were raw from trying to "claw her way out of the car"
Then about 5 minutes later she's back in the movie totally alive with no explanation as to what the hell happened, attacking Carter.
At that point I realized I couldn't really trust what was happening in the movie and decided it wasn't worth it anymore.
4/10
