jasonhurwitz's Review

Summary - Good 3.0

I enjoyed this movie as a mindless entertainment flick. There was good acting, but I found the film to be entirely predictable the whole way through: there were only 2 options for where the movie could end, and both were foreseeable by 15 minutes in. There weren’t really any new ideas concerning mental insanity, and the “plot twists” were mostly nonexistent because of their obviousness.

Acting - Great 4.0

Film - Very Good 3.5

Edge - Risqué 2.2

Reality - Glib 1.2

  Regarding hurwizzle’s Review
  Interesting. It was the reverse for me: liked the movie but not the trailer.

  OMG Thank you for posting a review, Wick. I’ve been hearing so many mixed reactions and from what I saw on “At the Movies”, it wasn’t lookin too good but now that I’ve seen your review, this is surely gonna be a great one.

  That’s encouraging Iz. I have to say I’d been kinda turned off by the trailer, even though the combo of Scorsese and DiCaprio is pretty much sure fire. But your recommendation about the book encourages me to want to see it for sure now.

  I just got done reading the book and it was amazing… hope to see the movie when it comes out
