Sleep Dealer is an interesting but unfocused attempt at a pretty rare category (Mexican sci-fi). The science fiction elements could be compelling; bio-feedback interfaces allow day-laborers in Mexico to run construction robots and other unappealing jobs in the USA by remote, and poor quality electronics and working conditions leave many blind or worse.
On the other hand, the acting is not great, and the second half of the story turns pretty milquetoast. The ending packs no punch, and the science aspect could have been left out almost entirely without the plot changing, which makes its inclusion a bit confusing.
