Oh you are talking about the ploy to market the movie. It's obvious it was intended to let you know right away that he was one of the crazies. I mean if he wanted to hide the twist he could have done a better job in the opening minutes of hiding the jagged and disconnected shots and flashbacks.

"Audiences are BLOWN AWAY by the MINDBLOWING TWIST of Shutter Island..........."

Yeah, the ads are stupid and trying to bring people in, the same way Cop Out was the 'top grossing comedy' even though it sank in the box office.. I doubt Scorcese thinks of it that way at all.

Newsflash: just because you like something doesn't mean it's bad. It's a classic and pretty brilliant work of literature. The artwork for it is amazing. The Burton film is disappointing and fails to deliver the wealth of material at its disposal.
You slept with mike so he would ban me. change your sig..the pretentious look how hipster face is so old ooh you like guys with glasses..ooooh

yeah, I knew it was based on Paris Je t'aime but I didn't think it was a series.
Toronto Stories is kind of like the other two from what I've heard...

And she forgot to mention it's directed by Antoine Burqua who directed Training Day.
I probably butchered his name though. Haha.

Yes it definitely had that Training Day "feel"
did you see it Ron?
If not, you should. Wesley Snipes is awesome.
He just has this feel of a veteran that not too many of these "thug" actors can pull off these days

Simultaneously full of itself and full of shit, Brooklyn's Finest is a cop movie so shallow, dumb, derivative and infuriating that it feels like a parody of bad cop movies. From the glaringly obnoxious opening scene of a parked car with its turn signal blinking, blinking, blinking, to the spray of clichés that blast the audience without mercy, this movie is the cinematic equivalent of waterboarding. (Peter Travers reviews Brooklyn's Finest in his weekly video podcast, "At the Movies With Peter Travers.") We're meant to weep at the tragedy of three cops out of Brooklyn's hardscrabble 65th Precinct. Should Sal (Ethan Hawke) go on the take to support his wife and kids? Will Eddie (Richard Gere) make it to retirement? Can undercover cop Tango (Don Cheadle) come in from the cold before getting infected by hanging with scum? (Wesley Snipes, returning to movies for what? This!) Blood is splattered, but the movie feels untouched by human hands, or by a director. This is startling since that job fell to the talented Antoine Fuqua of Training Day. The script by newbie Michael C. Martin seems unplayable, and I can't say the actors do anything to disprove my supposition. I hereby sentence Brooklyn's Finest to die unmourned on the DVD scrapheap.

Uh wut. That's actually a really well written review, even if you don't agree with it.
Brooklyn's Finest was pretty much universally slammed. I haven't read a single review with one good thing about it.

Well, that's only a portion of the review. And also, the purpose of a review is NOT to summarize, btw. It's to tell you the strengths and weaknesses of the film. You should spend more than one or two sentences on plot.
But thanks for the compliment! I'm supposed to see this on Friday:
