Introduction
I am back again with the story line and reviews of another mystery thriller movie. The name of this movie is Sleeping Dogs and it is an American crime thriller movie. Directed by Adam Cooper .
Friends, I am very fond of watching mystery and thriller movies, so in my posts you will mostly find reviews of such movies. By the way, I know that nowadays many people like this type of movie and that is why I try to give you better reviews of these movies. This movie is based on the book The Book of Mirrors which is written by E.O. Chirovici. The main character of this movie is Russell Crowe who is playing the role of Royal Freeman. Apart from this, I will keep telling you about the characters in the story line of the movie.
There is also a game named sleeping dogs but it is quite different from the story of the movie.
Movie Plot
When the movie starts, we are shown a scene inside a house where there were a lot of tapes on the walls of the house and many lines were written on those tapes. Some of the lines were like this. Your name is Roy Freeman, born on March 23, 1964, don't drink alcohol and many other lines were written. First of all, I was surprised why all this was written. Further in the movie, we are shown an old man who looked sick. There was a bandage on his head. He is lying on the sofa and it seems that there is no one in his house. Then again some frozen food comes out and there is a sticker on the frozen food as well telling how to prepare it. Then a line was seen written on the tape on the wall in which it was written that you have Alzheimer's. Then I understood that this person has Alzheimer's disease due to which all these lines are written on the walls of his house. Then we are shown a flashback in which the man's hair is being cut and different movements are shown repeatedly in the flashback. Then suddenly the man is shown with a doctor in which the man is giving an interview to the doctor and the doctor is asking him some basic questions.
This person is Roy Freeman. He has two serious head injuries. Then again the person's flashback is shown and this time his flashback is shown in the operation theatre. During the operation, the doctor is injecting something in his brain. In which he is being told how the thing that will be injected in his brain will work and in the end the doctor tells him a line that it is difficult to say anything right now because the person is probably addicted to drugs.
Roy gets a call from a woman and she calls him there to talk about some old case. Rai is a police officer. I had already thought that Rai is a police officer because when the shot of his house was being shown in the beginning, there was a certificate which said Police Officer Roy Freeman. The woman tells that she works for the Clean Hands Project which is a non-profit organization. This organization works for those prisoners who come to them for help.
The woman reveals her name to be Emily Dietz, played by Kelly Greyson.
Both of them meet in a case where the lady is going to talk to Roy about an old case. That case is of Isaac Samuel (Role Played by Pacharo Mzembe). Now as Roy has Alzheimer, he does not remember anything about the case. Then the lady tells that the culprit is convicted for a murder that happened 10 years ago and he is going to get the death sentence at the end of next month. But Roy does not remember anything due to his illness and he refuses to recognize Isaac. The lady tells that Isaac wants to talk to the detective and his partner who interrogated him.
Roy came home and saw the documents related to him and there were many photos related to Case and when he saw those photos, a flashback again runs in his mind and the scene is shown when he was being interrogated there. After that he goes to jail to meet Isaac. Now both of them are talking to each other. Isaac suddenly starts telling Freeman that you have given death sentence to an innocent person. He says that I have not committed any crime. Freeman says that when he was interrogated at the time, Isaac had confessed his crime and suddenly today after so many years he is talking about something else. When both of them are talking to each other, one thing is also revealed in this that Freeman is no longer a policeman, he was fired because of drunk driving.
Now we are shown a flashback where two detectives, one of whom is Roy Freeman and the other is his partner Jimmy Rameses (role played by Tommy Flanagan). Isaac tells that on the night the murder happened he was very drunk and was so drunk that he was not able to understand anything. Jimmy was repeatedly telling Isaac that he committed this murder by showing the photo of the crime scene. Then Isaac picks up a pen and writes something on it. Perhaps Isaac confesses that he committed the murder. Roy asks him why did you go to the house of the person who was murdered. So he tells that about 1 year ago he was caught in connection with theft and he committed the theft because his child was hungry. Weider (the person who was murdered) testified against Isaac. Due to which the judge punished him, due to which he was treated very badly in the jail and when he came out of the jail, Isaac wanted to take revenge from Weider, that is why he went to his house.
Ireland then tells that when he was hiding in Weider's house, after some time someone else started beating him badly and he started dying. He got very scared and ran away from there.
Then Isaac says that if you don't believe what I say then go and ask Richard Finn.
Freeman goes to his old friend Jimmy's house to find Finn. There he talks to Jimmy about his illness and here we come to know that both of them are meeting after 10 years. Jimmy tells him that I will find Finn. The next day Jimmy calls Freeman and says that I have found Finn. Freeman comes to know that Finn was dead when he goes to the hospital.
Now Freeman's investigation begins from here and first of all he goes to Finn's funeral and meets his brother there. Freeman gets to know a lot from his brother.
If we see, two suspense have been created in this movie. If Isak is saying that he is innocent then who murdered Weider. Apart from this, Finn's death was also not natural because during interrogation it is revealed that Finn was not a drug addict. Maybe someone must have killed him too and now Freeman has the task of solving both these murder puzzles.
Now the suspense has started coming in this movie. Now if I tell you the story after this then it will become a spoiler and if you people have not seen the movie here then your suspense will end. Then if you watch this movie then you will not enjoy it.
My Reviews
Overall the movie was very good and full of suspense. If you guys watch this movie, you will enjoy it a lot and your 2 hours will not be wasted. In the beginning, you get to see a suspense in this movie, but then as the movie progresses, you will get to see new suspense one after the other, which will keep you engaged in the movie. By the way, apart from the major suspense in this movie, there are many such suspense which you will see at the end of the movie and in fact, the story that you will get to see in the end will turn your mind. For some time, this movie can bore you a bit because at some places such things have been shown that it will take you some time to understand there and it is possible that you can read the scene again to understand it better, but I am sure that in the end you will enjoy it and I say with confidence that after watching it once, you will definitely recommend this movie to all your friends.
I feel that if the director had thought of making a web series in this, then it could have been a better idea because the story of this movie is really very thrilling. Even if short episodes were made, but if this movie was stretched a little longer, then the story could have been more clear, due to which the experience of watching the movie could have been better. To tell the truth, nowadays it is not fun to watch such short duration long movies, now I have got used to watching long web series, so after watching such a short movie, it seems that something is still incomplete, many things are not clear.
