Scorsese tries too much

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2010)

When I saw this movie I already guessed the ending: the policeman is the schizophrenic person.
That being said, Scorsese managed to draw a nice and entertaining thriller flick, with some talent in depicting a gloomy atmosphere filtered by the eyes of the imagination of a mad person.
However, the director chooses badly its actors, and Di Caprio delivers a plain performance; also, the gore scenes are too long and horror like, inducing a sense of negative anxiety into the viewer; the horror scene of killed children and the gore scenery of impelled Auschwitz bodies are to long and are not fit in the line of the storytelling.
