Has anyone seen this? I went last night with some friends and really enjoyed it. Very well made movie and story, and the acting was phenomenal. Not to mention the ending.

Hidden: 
What a great twist that was. I really want to see it again to see if I can pick up on things now that I know he's the insane one. Now that I think of it, things like Chuck not being able to take the gun out of his holster very quickly at all (at the beginning) didn't seem very normal for a cop.


I'd highly recommend watching it, but it can be a bit graphic at times, so the faint of heart may need to be weary.

How funny, my sister went to it the other day, and she said that although the theater was pretty full, almost everyone (including her and her friends) was complaining how bad it was :P

They obviously have no idea what they're talking about. Scorsese directed it for God's sake.

I'm rather looking forward to this. ^_^

Yeah, he may not be everyone's style, but it really was a thinker. You won't enjoy it if you just expect to be spoon-fed and be half asleep. It's… psychological.

I really liked it, and -- yes -- it was a thinker. I kind of saw the big twist coming ahead of time, but I really enjoyed the execution. It was a bit weird, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing in my eyes.

Hidden: 
I cracked up at the "Why are you all wet, baby?" line. The whole theater was roaring.

I loved the movie! I was long passed convinced the start would finish in the end but it had a good M.Night twist.... *adds emphasis to good*.

The part that pissed me off is the people exiting in front of me. They said that the movie was crap and hopefully the sequal brings it back right where it left off. How dense do you have to be. That was the END!

Lots of people who go to movies want two hours of mindless entertainment and when they have to think a little they get peeved.

I plan to see this movie and a few days ago i was thinking about it, what I knew from the trailers and all, and started to wonder if maybe

Hidden: 
the detective himself was supposed to be patient 96 or whatever number it was


Seeing the spoilers at the start of the topic confirmed that for me, makes me want to see it even more.

Rarely do I go into a movie without looking at something for it, I have been bitten in the butt to many times by bad movies that were supposedly good to not at least get a bit of the story.

I still enjoy them just as much :awesome:

Generally when I got a movies with friends it's with my 2 closest friends and one of them is one of those people who doesn't really care who you are, if he disagrees with you he will tell you so something like that would be kinda funny if it happened to me lol.

Plus the theaters we go to are never that crowded to begin with :D

I tend to go to theatres were it's always packed for the first week even though there are loads of seats, i love being one of the first in my school to see a new movie.

I find the biggest "OHHH!" moment for me was going back to watch whenever the prisoner, George Loyce, responds to Leonardo Da Vinci's character saying "it’s all about Laeddis, isn’t it?", because that's who he is.


I thought the movie was excellent! I've seen it twice and my friends want to go, so possibly might go a third.

I might just by it on DVD, only 2 of my friends wanted to see it, and most were too busy, and this Saturday is the last time there showing it.

I knew Leonardo Da Vinci was a true renaissance man, but I didnt know he had added acting to his repertoire. :P


Anyway, just saw it and thought it was very good.

I can't tell if Hellfire is being sarcastic or not XD!

I really want to see this film. Leonardo diCaprio is one of my favorite dramatic actors, and plus the premise just looks damn good. I don't know anything about the film, but I'm glad to at least hear that it's a thinker film instead of just another mindless thriller.

Ooh, I want to see this movie! I don't think that it would be so bad. My aunt watched it and told me it was good. I'll be glad whenever I get the time to actually see the movie! :weird:

Just saw the movie, the "most shocking ending evar" wasn't very shocking to me, I caught on as soon as they starting looking for patient 67. Still a very good movie though. I kinda wish the woman in the cave was real.

I ended up seeing it, and even though I knew the basic gist of the ending I felt it was presented in a good way.

I don't regret seeing it, and I had fun with some friends so it was worth the $8.50 for admission.
