Synopsis

In Thailand's Heaven Hotel, a group of four very different people find their lives colliding in tragic ways. Drifter Sean (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) is a runner for a dangerous drug gang. Rosa (Saskia Reeves) is a psychologist who is performing research on the dreams of children. In the room below her is a wounded female assassin who is waiting to intercept the package that Sean is transporting. Finally, Wit is a small, streetwise kid who works as a bellboy and therefore knows far more than the guests know he does. As their time at the Heaven progresses, it becomes clear that they won't all leave alive. Alex Garland's (THE BEACH, 28 DAYS LATER) novel is vividly translated to the screen by Oxide Pang Chun, one half of the Pang Brothers (THE EYE, INFERNAL AFFAIRS).

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the effort, 8 Dec 2004

By A Customer

This film is about a series of events that unfold and then fold back on themselves to reveal further connections and coincidences between characters, places and fragments of time. Sounds confusing? Well, yes it is, but stick with it as it's an interesting story and very good film. The Tesseract by Alex Garland was the follow up to The Beach, however this is not the same story as in the book but has a similar structure and is equally complex. The arrangement of scenes has a layered effect, retracing sequences from other perspectives and revealing glimpses of background plots, which adds to the confusion and yet sucks you in as you try to make sense of it.
The film begins with Shaun, an English drugs courier, played by an edgy Jonathan Rhys Meyers, awaiting a delivery from a sinister group of gangsters in his dingy hotel room. A boy working at the hotel steals the drugs and begins a sequence of actions, which lead to mayhem and death. The acting is excellent and the Bangkok locations both exotic and frightening. Strangely, the lack of subtitles makes it even more compelling, as any non-Thai speaking viewer would feel as alienated as the two English characters, adding to the tension and sense of claustrophobia.
It's a shame an unusual film like this never makes it to the big screen, but at least watching it on DVD means you can see enough times to enjoy your own perspective of the story!

4.0 out of 5 stars Different, but good, 20 Jan 2007

By	Catherine (South Africa) - See all my reviews

this is one of those movies that you don't really know if you like or not, and then, you start to like it more and more. It is quite different, takes some time to figure it all out, but actually very good. If you have been to Thailand it all makes so much more sense and you will appreciate the movie much more.

1.0 out of 5 stars easily one of the worst films i have ever seen, 19 Jul 2005

By A Customer

this film is terrible, dogdy acting, even worse dialogue, completely unfeasible plot, unnecessary editing and use of bad effects. don't watch it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary
An amazing film. As another reviewer pointed out, you start off unsure but it soon pulls you in, and by the end it's absorbing and utterly compelling. Read more
