Great movie for those who want to think

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2010)

I rented this movie as soon as it came out on video so i did not get the full effect of a movie going experience. I suggest this movie to anyone looking for a movie that will make them think and does fit the average movie mold.
I really like how in the movie everything in the plot came together. Throughout the movie I struggled to understand the events that were happening, but as it turns out the director wants you to struggle with understanding and then reveals to you how it all comes together.
One thing I did not like very much was the graphic nature of some of the scenes. It really did not seem necessary to include some of the scenes. I think the point was to create a disturbed feeling, but this ended up really turning me off to the movie as I thought some of the scenes were too graphic.
The acting of the main characters was pretty good in general. Dicaprio plays his role very well and it was a tough role to play. Some of the supporting roles though were not as good. The poor acting of some of the supporting characters makes their story less believable. Some of these characters are supposed to be scary, but because of their less than good acting they come off as over the top.
Overall i thought the movie was good. As I said before anyone who wants to be mentally challenged would probably have a fun time with this movie. Those who do not like very graphic scenes should be warned.
