Review of Shutter Island (2010) by Dave M — 11 Feb 2013
It's good. It's not great. But holy shit does it scream SCORSESE!! Shutter Island had me tense and intrigued the whole way, but in the end I just wished for something more challenging. The weakness in the movie lies in the final reveal which didn't leave me with the right questions, nor did it blow my mind; it's straight laced which when I think of Scorsese films, the man is usually anything but.
On the plus side the movie looks fantastic. The lighting and music absolutely floored me. With Scorsese you get a movie with a quality you won't find anywhere else. Whether or not you actually love the story, I still came out loving the director.
