 A Great movie to add to your collection! August 24, 2010

I watched this in the cinema not expecting much, But I was so pleasantly surprised, by the whole film. It sucked me in from the very beginning all the way to the end.
The acting was amazing, as well as the storyline. I cant praise this film enough, In my personal opinion, its one of decaprio's best.
Im not a big fan of twists in films, but this one I liked alot. It doesnt leave you disapointed at all.
You will enjoy Im sure.
 too many flashbacks August 29, 2010

i had been looking forward to this film coming out.so was mildly disappointed by it .perhaps i was expecting something more supernatural,i guessed the plot early on due to all the irritating flash backs.the film would have benefited by these being left out,with only a hint of the main characters background shown.all in all very watchable,but too contrived.
Shutter Island (Thriller) August 26, 2010

I went to see this film in the cinema with my boyfriend when it first came out. Have to say it is a brillant film, there is such a good story to it and i find it captures your mind. As the story plays out you dont realise there is a twist to it, not until the end of it and then its just i didnt see that coming. As soon as it came out on dvd i just had to get it. I would def recommend this film to anyone, and if you do watch it hope you enjoy it at much as we did.
Another Excellent Film by Scorsese May 24, 2010

Shutter Island is one of the most well crafted psychological thrillers to come by since Silence Of The Lambs. And it is no coincidence both were brilliantly written novels. Shutter Island is adapted by a book written by Dennis Lehane (wrote gone baby, gone and mystic river). It is a book filled with twists and turns, that will leave the reader dizzy. And, that is what it's film counterpart does to the fullest. Martin Scorsese helms the director chair, in a movie where he is more free than any before. This is Scorsese at his most unrestrained.
Marty takes what he has learned from the great films of the past and puts it into his. The master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock's influence is everywhere you look in this film. And it is no wonder, considering Scorsese even showed one of his greatest works to the crew: Vertigo. And many of those ideas are present in Shutter Island; the cliff scenes scream Hitchcock. This is a film that creeps and crawls, and is filled with dark corners. And it is all heightened by the coming storm that looms over the island. This is classic film noir.
The story follows Teddy, a federal Marshall, and his partner Chuck (Played by DiCaprio and Ruffulo). They go to this mysterious island enveloped in fog to investigate an escape. From these opening scenes, Marty has set up a dark and creepy premise.
Almost the whole movie incorporates this story as Teddy desperately tries to find the truths he seeks. Teddy is shown as a scared man; a man of war and violence as portrayed in various flashbacks. These will go on to be increasingly important as the story progresses. We follow Teddy on his quest, through every dark corridor and perilous confrontations. Slowly, we are given pieces to the puzzle, but the audience does not even realize it. For we, like Teddy, are blind. For the moment at least. It is because of this that the thrilling conclusion will leave many blindsided. But, you see, that is where this thriller becomes something more. We as the audience are put in Teddy's shoes, and we feel all the things he feels. It is a complete assault on the senses, and it works beautifully.
This is a film you must watch carefully. That is another thing that sets this apart, it is a horror film that makes you actually think. In this day and age, I'm not surprised some found it terrible esp. after their brains have been turned to mush by these new gore filled horror films. Scorsese's ultimate goal here is to wake you up. And trust me, you probably wont like it.
This is also a film I would recommend seeing a second time. In fact, it is even better the second time. All those pieces of that puzzle you didn't catch the first time, you will the second. You see, we as the audience are first put in the shoes of Teddy. The second? Well, without giving too much away, lets just say you are put in someones else's shoes entirely during the second viewing.
Shutter Island. A film that will make you question your own sanity. A film that will leave you breathless. A film that has re-ignited the thriller genre. A film that will leave you, and the main character, searching for answers.
Loved this film July 4, 2010

Unmissable and unique psychological thriller which has the potential to be the best movie of 2010. The story is complex and creepy yet engaging and very cleverly written so it keeps you hooked throughout. Great acting, especially by Leonardo Dicaprio who is fantastic yet again. Be warned though the end messes with your mind and keeps you thinking long after it finishes. I went straight out and bought the book.
