Shutter Island

Year: 2010

Grade: B+

Country: USA

Director: Scorsese

Review

memento-esque ending was the cherry on top of this one. also liked the vertigo element to the ending. besides the ending the film is good and suspenseful. it’s a bit on the long side and i think it tips its hat a bit too much (the new partner, the cut on his forehead, the timing of dicaprio and his partner’s arrival [they come a day after the woman goes missing yet are both from different parts of the country and why is a missing woman a federal case anyway?] and the unlikely setup, etc.). dicaprio’s performance gets better as his character gets deeper into the mystery. it’s not scorsese’s best film of all-time, but it’s good to see him doing something different.
