I nearly didn't watch this movie because of the negative comments, thank God I didn't listen to them. What a movie, this is a real thriller. 9/10 for me

The movie is solid in every aspect, but it's at a certain point where the flashbacks kick in that you start piecing things together. Picture this: an Alzheimer's-afflicted crime detective finds himself unravelling a decade-old case, and as time goes on, he becomes deeply involved. Everyone's a suspect, yet the lines are drawn so clearly, pointing directly to the murderer with each new piece of evidence. Motives are unveiled gradually, like in any classic mystery, but what sets this movie apart is the romantic entanglement of the obvious suspects, making it easier to identify the true culprit. They've excluded the convicted from scene one, leaving only a handful of people under scrutiny.

I can't imagine what memory loss would feel like to a former cop, and a homicide detective at that. Adapted from E. O. Chirovici's novel "The Book of Mirrors", this movie soon took on a life of its own, breathed in large part by Russell Crowe. Subtle performances and attentive characterisation defined the "Sleeping Dogs" movie. It gradually became a nightmarish nostalgia trip for Crowe's character Roy Freeman, who'd retired after suffering from severe memory loss. But a case from his past and his past itself both came back to torment him. "Sleeping Dogs" contained an arresting story, rife with suspense, betrayal, experimental meds, and well-timed revelations. Returning to an earlier case meant Roy reconnecting with so much that was lost along with his brain's ability to process memories. He soon found himself working with his old partner Jimmy Remis (played notably by Tommy Flanagan). Between Roy's inability to recall and the many loose ends he discovered in the 10+ year old case, "Sleeping Dogs" began to live up to the phrase it emulated. Roy ended up not letting sleeping dogs lie. The plot picked up in earnest and demanded my full attention as I tried to piece together what happened in the case involving death-row inmate Isaac Samuel (played by Pacharo Mzembe) and the detectives who'd gotten his confession to a murder he seemingly hadn't committed. Richard Finn, later found deceased, became the hub around which a lot of clues revolved. Harry Greenwood did good work bringing this character to life, so to speak, and connecting some clever dots to the murder which sent Isaac away. The portions that featured Karen Gillan (as Laura Baines / Elizabeth Westlake) were intriguing. Though she only came and went every now and again, she played a potent role in this story. Her interactions with Dr. Joseph Wieder (played with Marton Csokas) raised plenty of suspicions. But nothing was as it seemed in "Sleeping Dogs". The story was slow-paced but exceedingly clever. As detective movies go, this one had a curious gravitas that made it seem like it followed a typical genre formula but with just the right amount of creative differences to make it come across as deeply suspenseful. "Sleeping Dogs" was one of those movies where the clues were hidden in plain sight but you'd never really guess the cause-consequence angle until the plot itself revealed them. --- --- --- Adding to the engaging performances in the movie were Thomas M. Wright (as Wayne Devereaux), Elizabeth Blackmore (as Dana Finn), Simon Maiden (as Eddie Finn), Kelly Greyson (as Emily Dietz), Lynn Gilmartin (as Diane Lynch), and Paula Arundell (as Susan Avery).

I recently watched the movie "Sleeping Dogs," and I was left completely stunned. After the credits rolled, I could only sit in silence, utterly amazed by what I had just experienced. This film is, without a doubt, the best crime movie I have ever seen. From start to finish, "Sleeping Dogs" delivers a gripping and intense narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The storyline is masterfully crafted, with twists and turns that are both surprising and thought-provoking. The characters are complex and well-developed, making it easy to become emotionally invested in their journeys. One of the standout aspects of this movie is its ending. The final scenes are incredibly powerful and leave a lasting impression. They are executed with such precision and emotional depth that they alone make the entire movie worth watching. Despite its brilliance, "Sleeping Dogs" seems to be underrated based on its current IMDB rating. I urge potential viewers not to be swayed by the numbers. This film is a hidden gem that deserves much more recognition than it currently receives. In summary, "Sleeping Dogs" is an exceptional crime movie that combines a compelling story, strong character development, and a memorable conclusion. I highly recommend giving it a watch, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Don't let the rating deter you from experiencing this remarkable film.

Well, what can I say? This film is a captivating ride from beginning to end. With a solid directorial debut, it skillfully incorporates elements reminiscent of classics like Murder by Numbers and Oldboy. Throughout the narrative, I found myself fully engrossed, a rare feat that kept me glued to the screen without the usual urge for a smoke break. While it draws inspiration from various films, its unique blend creates an intriguing and immersive experience. For aficionados of crime thrillers and murder mysteries, this film is definitely worth adding to your watchlist. If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Adam Cooper and everyone else put in to make this happen. I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is. Thank you.
