I watched it the other day. I must say, I was a little disappointed. The trailers make it look better than it is.

Not good enough to be a Scorsese film. In saying that, a good film, and worth the watch, but don't expect too much.

7.2/10

Yes, I heard there is a 'twist' ending?

Then I went about guessing this ending, and theres only one possible scenario


I did the same with 6th sense, heard there was a surprise and guessed Bruce Willis was dead all along

It wasn't just the ending, which was a little disappointing. The movie dragged on too long to get to the point. It left plenty of people waiting for something to happen for an extended period. If anyone's referring to IMDB's rating, it's gone from 9.0 to 8.4 in 6 days. That's massive...It'll keep coming.

It's not a movie that'll make it to my DVD collection, and probably not one that I'd bother seeing again - if that helps.

Good acting & cast for the film, decent storyline, fitting soundtrack. As I said, worth a watch.

Seriously - can I make love to you??

You said it perfectly lol

The film dragged on for way too long to get to the point - and the ending just makes you feel disappointed that you had to wait that long for it. There were things that don't really add up too. It just felt like a dumb kinda plot at the end of the day - unrealistic.

But yeah either way, it's watchable.

Brilliant movie. Best I've seen in a while.

True about the twist, you know it's coming and try to pick it (not too hard), but in saying that it kept me guessing the whole time.

Makes you think the whole movie, there's pretty much something symbolic about everyscene or ties in with the story in some way.

Maybe I've been starved of movies that actually make you think, but I loved this.

Yep a good watch 7/10. Are you for real with the picking the ending? near impossible....I liked the ending it made you think and keeps you guessing after it ends.I had to google the movie and read the threads about the ending,there was some interesting threads about what was the truth.

**I still think scorses needs to go back to his roots and do some more mafia flicks**

I agree with slip, overall it was a good movie but it went on for too long and was slightly boring even at one hour in.

have only just watched this today...it's amazing how psychiatry HASN'T changed all that much. having said that, absolutely loved it

i'm also surprised by the amount of chlorpromazine that must've been used back in the 50's, i have never seen anyone detox from it!!! the 'pink champagne' is still the best drug we have :grinning:
