The Ninth Configuration is back...

Rating: 6/10 (11 July 2010)

This movie is terribly similar to The Ninth Configuration (1980), written and directed by William Peter Blatty (of The Exorcist). Although set in a different location and time, it is basically the same story. I quite liked this one, but much prefer The Ninth Configuration for being the 'original'.
I noticed a few continuity mishaps in the filming at the beginning of the movie, and cannot relate them to the story that later unravels. Being Scorcese as meticulous as he usually is, I have to accept that he made them on purpose... but cannot understand such purpose.
Dicaprio is only OK. I was delighted to see von Sydow again! Kingsley plays himself, as usual. Ruffalo is good.
Don't have more to say. I hope that the length is enough. Why worry about comments' lengths, IMDb?
