** SPOILER ALERT **
Not since Leonardo DiCaprio in Shutter Island has an actor looked so much like a playacting high schooler in a gumshoe's trenchcoat as Dane DeHaan playing Wall Street stockbroker Lockhart, a man tricked into admitting himself into a sinister sanatorium in this cumbersomely titled fantasy mystery, and that and a good number of other clues peppered liberally throughout this overlong Shutter Island-Soylent Green B-movie hint at the film's big reveal: that it is actually a floundering, ponderous, distasteful mess of other films' ideas including, towards the end, sadly, Spiderman.
