Right off the bat, we have to put it out there that the written version of which this film is primarily based on had colored the landscape of our imagination with a chilling aftertaste well after the pages had turned yellow. An inmate in an institution which homes the insane as nicely as hardened criminals has escaped in seemingly not possible style. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a federal agent assigned to investigate precisely how this lady could have ‘disappeared’. Martin Scorsese’s favorite actor of the moment acted the pivotal function with a characterization which is as well telling and the general path isn’t as haunting as the book. Seriously, if provided a choice, get the novel by Dennis Lehane as a substitute. You won’t regret it.
