A film that successfully tricks

Rating: 9/10 (1 November 2013)

Going into this movie I figured it'd be a cool mystery with nothing more to it. This movie has a cover of a generic film but deserves to be better recognized. Upon the thrills throughout the movie it seems to let you know what's happening and brilliantly fools you while doing so. What's so good about it is the way it starts and continues fluidly without looking clunky. The setting is perfect, never letting the viewer think this is a cheap Hollywood set. Dicaprio gives a deep performance and is able to change levels of intensity appropriate to the scenes. To me it seemed like every bit of dialogue had purpose for later in the movie that works spectacularly for the premise. This movie actually fooled me and even question my own sanity afterwards. People will be mad they didn't understand or that the movie tricked them, but the truth is that this film is powerful and thought provoking if your upset toward it or not.In this movie the insane are accurately depicted and we get to see what it's like in a way... Martin Sorcese and Leo are made for each other it seems, and I can't wait to see what they dish out next.
