In the future, our immigration problems will be solved by having Mexicans do their menial work with remote-controlled robots. We’ll get our cheap labor, and the Mexicans will stay on their side of the border.

That’s according to "Sleep Dealer," which makes the suggestion satirically, of course. Set in the near future, the film is loaded with interesting sci-fi concepts but suffers in the execution of them. It falls back on too many clichés and spends too much time on an uninteresting subplot -- problems that could have been avoided if the film weren’t so focused on presenting its nifty futuristic quirks.
