Shutter Island

So, you saw the preview, and you said to yourself, "A Scorsese film huh? Oh, DiCaprio's in this one too? I don't even need to see the rest of the trailer. This is gonna be good."

This is probably the train of thought most of us have when we see "A Film by Martin Scorsese" under any trailer title, and Shutter Island does not disappoint. Scorsese casts DiCaprio in his films for a reason-he's a damn good actor. It's as simple as that. I've watched DiCaprio for years, and he was good then, and he is even better now.

The movie opens with spine-tingling music that gets you sitting on the edge of your seat from the very start. Scorsese of course uses the camera uniquely well, adding to the constant suspense and whirlwind of a ride the plot of the movie takes you on.

There is a chance that you may guess the ending at the beginning of the film. I personally guessed a form of the ending myself, however, I guarantee that you will have many moments in the film where you are second guessing your own first instincts, and may at points completely neglect your original thought. I did during the film, time after time again, and it's only a 2 hour movie. Either way, you will absolutely not guess the complete, and entire ending-there is far too good of a twist for that.

No matter what, you will not leave the theater disappointed. There is not a dull moment in the entire 2 hours, and if you have not seen it already, get to the theater as soon as possible to see this one. You do not want to miss it!
