Sleeper

Such an epic fail...very boring and the plot is sluggish.

Certainly not nearly as bad as one reviewer would have you think.

This movie was dumber than a box of rocks. It was full of bad acting and bad gun handling. Kara Killmer was playing a dumber than dumb blonde. People were attempting to speak Russian. The plot was beyond stupid.

I might have still given it two stars rather than one if only the acting were at least close to decent. Sorry, Kara Kilmer is no Keri Russel, Brett Donahue is no Matthew Rhys, and Barbara Gordon is surely no Margo Martindale. So there you have it, a whiter shade of pale.

Sleeper is the story of the marriage between Kara Killmer and Brett Donahue. They seem like an ideal couple, he's a florist she a real estate agent. But Donahue has been keeping one big secret from her.

If anyone saw the Sidney Poitier/River Phoenix movie Little Nikita than you have some idea what's going on here. It also was not one of the best films for either of those two stars. But at least that film had those two going for it.

Apparently there are a whole lot of Sleeper agents in the USA left over from the Cold War and ready for use if things heat up. Donahue knows who and where they are, the Russians want him and so do we.

As for Killmer she hasn't a clue. But she spots hubby with a beautiful woman Rayisa Kondracki and assumes there's an affair. She starts poking into her husband's business and not in her wildest dreams did she suspect this.

Sleeper is just as far fetched as Little Nikita and not as good.
