Thrilling, but predictable

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2010)

I came into this movie expecting a horror type movie based on some of the commercials on television and the previews, but I was very mistaken. This movie was very much a psychological thriller. Leonardo DeCaprio fans will absolutely love this movie, as he is excellent in it. Mark Ruffolo is also very good in the movie, but by far, Ben Kingsley steals the show, I believe with his portrayal of a doctor for the insane. While I was at the edge of my seat for most of the movie, I did find that the end of the movie was very predictable. Many reviewers have stated that it was shocking, but for some reason I found it almost to easy to predict. Perhaps, it is due to viewing so many Martin Scorcese films in the past and preparing myself ahead of time for the unpredictable. I highly recommend the movie, I would have probably given it a perfect score if I was not so disappointed with the ending.
