...solid picture that somehow managed to have me suspend disbelief - that's tight editing and good direction - even then a departure in genre for Scorsese but very deftly handled methinks.

Demi-spoiler: One of the film's points truly hits home: insanity is not being able to take account of or responsibility for, one's actions.

We saw it in "XD": "extreme digital" (close to as good an image as the "IMAX" Star Trek I saw).

(Peve: for the first 3/4 of the movie some teeny-twit two rows ahead of me was texting every blasted 5-10 minutes or so - really. Informed the manager after the movie and was told ushers are supposed to check for this. Guard said had I informed him, and he'd throw them out or something. Infuriating rudeness.)

I would have preferred a different ending. * - mr grits 20:27:54 02/20/10 (9)

It would have been a different story than the book then...(nt) - mkuller 23:26:34 02/20/10 (8)

Commonly, endings in films are different from the books. nt - tinear 07:40:57 02/22/10 (7)

In this case, the ending is crucial to the story...(nt) - mkuller 10:11:25 02/22/10 (6)

That's true in most stories. Hollywood traditionally changes negative endings. nt - tinear 10:25:44 02/23/10 (5)
