Review of: Sleeper

4/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 22 Sep 2007

I'm not a huge Woody Allen fan, but Sleeper is fairly entertaining and good for a few laughs. The premise is that Allen's character (Miles Monroe) is frozen and reawakened 200 years later by a subversive organisation who want him to infiltrate a secret governement project.

If you like a bit of Chaplin-esque slapstick then you'll probably enjoy it, and there is some witty dialogue that plays on the 200-year time difference.

Maybe it was a common prediction at the time, but the civil liberty infringements the futuristic population are subjected to are remarkably similar to those the British government seems to want to impose right now.
