Not what the preview suggests, a much better movie.

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2010)

OK, so totally not what I was expecting, but this was one of the best movies I've seen in years. Not Silent Hill - like, which was what I was expecting from the previews, more like a psychological thriller/mystery, but pretty creepy still, and really depressing. Not creepy with the horror and effects, so if that's what you need don't see it, you will be disappointed. If you do like non-gore occasionally or just wait for it to come out on video, DiCaprio is pretty awesome, and the plot's steady and written really well even though its a little slow and confusing. Think of the anti-hero aspect of Taxi Driver, very intelligent, layered, and sophisticated. Unlike other mysteries and most movies the ending is actually amazing and incredibly satisfying, probably my favorite part. To give an idea without giving anything away, let me vague it up, you'll understand later; totally not what you were guessing even if you do get part of it half way through, it makes you review everything you've just seen in your head again just to understand it. Hence beware, it's a little hard to grasp in whole without re-watching it. I left the theater feeling awed and a little nauseous with a weird sense of hope in humanity but and a conflicting idea of the futility as well, a total mind fu**. I love it.
