Directed by Martin Scorsese
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Paramount)
This is one of those movies where a character has a dream, wakes up, but it turns out he is still dreaming, wakes up, and so on. This gives the director free license and almost anything can happen, since it's all just a dream anyway. So, Leo is a police marshal who walks into an insane asylum with a new buddy cop. They are supposedly after a recently escaped patient. However, it turns out Leo has got a more personal connection to the island. The dreams start, there is a hurricane and then, wait for it... the huge plot revelation. If you've seen The Sixth Sense this will seem eerily familiar. It's good for one viewing, but afterwards I felt very, very manipulated, just like after The Sixth Sense.
