Great Acting and Visually Moody, Falters in Climax

Credit to Scorsese for channeling his inner Hitchcock, from the eerie string-heavy score to the all too fake-looking backdrops (opening scene on the ferry looks straight out of a 1950's studio), and the performances are more than acceptable from the entire cast. The mood of the film tries to walk the line between suspense and horror, but the horror bits come off more as visually disturbing but never quite frightening.
The film is certainly worth the price of admission, just don't expect the twists to provide any sense of fulfillment. Actually, much to the contrary, the biggest of twist of all is both painfully long in its explanation and ultimately frustrating.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
