Review (minor plot detail included)

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2014)

Brilliantly acted , brilliantly directed and a plot line that will keep you engaged throughout the whole film. Importantly stick with it , slow paced but a great watch, don't be one of this people that sits in on a conversation later with you being the only one that turned it off and everyone else explaining what a hit you have missed
We join the film with Teddy and Chuck , two FBI agents on a ferry headed over to the island to investigate a missing person.
Ben Kingsley plays the evasive Dr Cawley and you just know you are not going to like this character as he plays his own mind games with Teddy and Chuck believing him to be a superior person. Introduce Max Von Sydow , Dr Naehring , a man with a superiority complex of unbelievable heights. The two doctors are obstructive and you know they know more than they are letting on but you just can't put your finger on it.
As the investigation becomes more detailed and god forbid Teddy and Chuck try to interview the patients at the hospital , how they though that psychiatric patients would be of use is a point that still makes me think.
A gripping conclusion at a fairly fast pace compared to the rest of the film leaves you thinking , what did just happen, is it possible.
