93377, I went in thinking it was going to be shit Posted by zuma1986, Sat Feb-20-10 05:22 PM
Had very little interest in watching it from the trailer but was interested to see what Scorsese could do with a thriller. Although it's not great or even good for that matter, I did sorta enjoy it. There were some great shots and scenes in the movie, specifically a shot of the American troops going through all the papers of a Nazi camp and having all the papers flying in the air in slow motion as Leo creeps up on a dying Nazi. But Leo's accent was WAY over the top, I couldn't take his character seriously until stuff started to happen to him.
There's a a lot of comparisons to Hitchcock, which is fair but I see a lot more influence from Kubrick (IE// The Shining). I mean between the heavy flashes of memories and the way the dead ppl come to him is very much like The Shining.
