Insane in the Brain

Rating: 1/10 (28 February 2010)

I must be crazy to have watched this movie for two and a half hours! I felt as if I was locked up in that penitentiary and couldn't get up from my seat waiting for the plot to thicken. Why did i stay? I should have ran when I first felt the urge to get out! I think Martin Scorcese purposely made this film to make you feel sick and insane and filmed in a way to make you feel mentally and physically ill. I left with a headache, neck ache and an ulcer. The characters were filmed so close up you wanted to press your head back into the chair to get a better perspective. You felt as if you were being interrogated. After two and a half hours of listening to crazy talk and find a shred of rational thought......you felt depleted by the end to have realized that you just had a bout of temporary insanity for staying in the damn theater for all that nonsense! This movie is not a psychological thriller but a psychopathic torture chamber! Don't waste your money and sanity.
