a nicely done story that keeps you guessing.
i won't give it all away...
a marshal comes to an island were the worst of the worst of mental patients are being "treated" and you begin to learn the real story of why the marshal came here...and then the drugs kick in and things get really surreal crazy. you'll begin to wonder what the hell is going on and then wonder what the real story is, who's who, and then it comes down to the final story...the real.
so you may guess what the basic story will be but its a good twisting turning trip that keeps making you watch and wonder and guess again. really for this type of movie its written pretty damn well.
my only real complaint about the film (well i thought dicaprio was unsuited to the marshal role...but that turns out to be interesting) was that the film is generally over processed. sometimes heavy handed processing can help a film and in this it could have added a dimension of surreal 'crazy' to it all but it fails to do so. the overprocessing is simply over done. its not suited to the film in the end and is a little garish honestly. but thats my only complaint...otherwise it was good entertainment.
