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.

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.

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

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.
