Review of Shutter Island (2010) by Luis G — 22 May 2013
Lately, I've been in a Marty Scorsese kinda of mode. First, Goodfellas, then the Departed & now, Shutter Island. Don't get me wrong, I love all of Scorsese's gangster flicks but it's these types of films (the Aviator, Hugo, Cape Fear) that show what a great storyteller Scorsese is.
SI is a fantastic mystery/ thriller set just outside of Boston in the 50s. Leo DiCaprio & Mark Ruffalo (very underrated actor) play US Marshalls. They are sent to a psyhe prison located in Shutter Island to investigate a dissappearance of a patient.
The pace, the setting, the mood set the stage to what in my opinion is one of the best thrillers I have seen. The cast is great, soundtrack & cinematography are excellent. In short, Shutter Island is a great Blu-Ray DVD for the collection.
