Shame about the ending......
Anne Marie from Wicklow, 23 Aug 2010
This film starts out really well; moody and atmospheric. Unfortunately from about a third of the way in there are large neon signs signposting the most unbelievably formulaic ending.
What has happened to Martin Scorsese in recent years, he used to make really good movies?

Ending doesn't do the film justice
laura from Dublin, 08 Nov 2010
With a different ending this could have been great - the acting is good and the setting great, with a sense of dread building as you get brought along by the story, but in the end it is such a terrible cop out that it makes you feel you've wasted time in watching.

Skitter Island!!
Brian from Louth, 18 Feb 2011
This is an absolute farce. Another in the recent string of Di Caprio films that is hugely over-rated. Neither he and nor Scrorcese has produced anything worth a fraction of the credit they have received over the past 10 yrs. Scorcese is incapable of producing a film without gaping plot-holes and Di Caprio cannot see past the directors credit on the cover page of a script.

A bit of a let down
Niamh from Dublin, 11 Dec 2010
A little way into this movie I predicted an ending but thought 'That's far too obvious - there has to be another twist'.. However, the twist I created in my own head never came and I was very disappointed. Maybe I overthought it.
The acting is good though

Sick waste of time
Emma from Dublin, 17 Aug 2010
This is not good. thought it was going to be great. but its predictable, you can figure out story after about half an hour and also it is just sick. and disturbing and not worth the time. bad news bears.

Shutter Island/Inception in disguise go figure
Mark from Dublin, 15 Aug 2011
So over hyped its not even funny, did not enjoy at all was clock watching a lot and have to say the overall plot pivots around the wife and what happened to her very similar to inception, overall I could not recommend this.
