I wish they would have convinced the viewer that Leo was crazy and at the very end put a seed of doubt that maybe the doctors did the perfect scam...making the moviegoer crazy (in a sense). I was waiting for that until the credits.

I agree. I wanted it to be somewhat ambiguous. Because I "guessed" on the boat that he was crazy and he killed his wife. Then it was almost confirmed for me when in one of his dreams she was bleeding from the stomach. I was like, well, I guess he shot her and she didn't DIAF. There was all kinds of not-so-subtle foreshadowing.


I still liked it--a lot, even--I just thought it could have been a little better. But this movie is somewhat a victim of the abundance of movies the last 10 years in the "twist ending" genre. If it had come out before The Sixth Sense, it might be considered a masterpiece. Of course, it wouldn't have been the same movie, though.
