Directed by Martin Scorsese. With Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley. In 1954, a U.S. Marshal investigates the disappearance of a murderer who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane.

I heard there was a twist and saw it coming from a mile away. The only really interesting thing here is the question of if a sane man would do what he did at the end. Seems like a catch 22 to me.
