Just semi-predictable

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2010)

Watch out! I will give the last scene away! After seeing the movie I always like to read the "hated it" section of the movies I like, and the "loved it"-section of the movies I hate, just to see if I missed anything, that should have changed my mind (although comments made by unreasonable-people, giving 1 or 10 stars to any movie should of course be dismissed out of hand). ANYWAY, most grievances of people hating this movie is about, that it was so obvious the main character was a mental-patient. To me, that is looking at a whodunnit-movie and being dismayed by the fact that in the end the killer has been found... I did like this movie, DESPITE the fact, that I was pretty sure from the very start, that the main character made the whole story up. Which, as a narrative, has been done dozens of times before and rarely done without giving "the twist" away ("Fight club" being a pleasant exception). Almost everything in the movie points to a delusional main character, so at one point I actually did start to wonder the opposite: 'could there truly be a nasty conspiracy with a Nazi-like-(experi)mental-hospital?' I also could appreciate the very last scene of the movie. As the movie starts from the main character wanting to end any malpractices and ending in voluntarily undergoing one...
