The good, the bad and the ugly

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2010)

The Good, excellent cast, extremely atmospheric locations and at times the tension is managed to be racked up to high levels. The last 2 minutes of the film leave an interesting question that can be debated.
The Bad - Slow, slow, slow - the movie is over 2 hours long and boy did it feel it and just when it feels like it's about to explode in a superb final ending it goes on some more.
The Ugly - The twist, after hearing about this clever twist that takes you unaware I was anticipating something un-obvious. So on knowing that the film is set in a mental asylum my first thought, before Teddy had even left the boat was that he was actually the mental patient, I however dismissed this as being too blatantly obvious to be the twist and assumed that it must be a play on this theme. It isn't, the ending is so obvious, so stereotypical I defy anyone not to get it. As a note I preferred this style of twist in 'Identity'. At least that film didn't take itself too seriously.
