About this movie
Sleep Dealer' is a Sundance award-winning sci-fi thriller packed with stunning visuals and strong social and political themes.
Memo Cruz (Luis Fernando Peña) is a young man in near-future Mexico. When his family is victim of a misguided drone attack he finds himself with no option but to head north, towards the U.S./Mexico border. But migrant workers cannot cross this new world border -- it's been sealed off. Instead, Memo ends up in a strange digital factory in Mexico where he connects his body to a robot in America.

It would be awesome if there was an English version. All I can get is English subtitles even though the credits are in English. I can follow the plot, but if I wanted to read a book I'd get a book.

The ending was bad, It never really climaxed anywhere in the movie. Its like hills your riding over. I do like the 'connecting'.

Such a good film. I enjoy the aspects of technology that are found here, as well as the sci-fi aspect. The plot was good, and the action was spot-on. The special effects are quite cheesy (not realistic at all) but that adds to its allure. You won't be disappointed with this one.
