Review of Shutter Island (2010) by Norman F — 22 Jun 2014
Featuring a fantastic lead performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, "Shutter Island" is a brilliant suspense thriller that once seen, refuses to be forgotten. A spellbinding film that improves on repeated viewings, it is uplifted by a haunting score, incredible performances and an overall unpredictable story.
Like any suspense vehicle, it keeps you guessing till the very end but the cherry on the top that truly makes it stand out is a jaw-dropping plot twist. It's one of those rare surprises that makes you want to watch the film all over again.
As far as director-actor collaborations are concerned, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are truly a match made in heaven.
