A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2011)

Once again we were told to hate this by dumb-ass reviewers in the press and on TV. Once again, actually applying your brain to the viewing process rewards one with a fantastic experience. The best thing I have seen since Mullholland Drive, and like that film, this one plays with your head until it hurts. This is what a good auteur film should do. If you want something easy go and watch the latest Car Chase movie, you won't be disappointed. What do you get when a mad policeman is asked to investigate himself ? This was simply brilliant. Especially the claustrophobia that built up towards the end as DiCaprio realises that 'perhaps' he is the bad guy. All kudos to all the cast for superb acting. Especially Ben Kingsley in the best thing he has done for years.
