I wish I could regress like Andrew Laeddis and relive this ending again and again and again.

What a stunner of a film. What a stunner of an ending.

Which would be worse - to live as a monster? Or to die as a good man?

Shutter Island is a film that gives you the illusion you understand what’s going on, yet as soon as you think you've grasped it, it slips away with another confusing factor.

Some critics say it’s the best psychological thriller since Silence Of The Lambs, and I’d tend to agree, as ultimately it leaves you with lots of different possibilities of what’s really happened, and leaves you questioning your own sanity.

Not a light watch, but certainly a rewarding one.

The perfect marriage of old school cinematic craft and modern movie technology, Shutter Island is Scorsese at his best.
A twisty thriller that actually makes sense when you think back on it (a certain character's demeanor, which might jar at the time, makes perfect sense in hindsight for instance). Even if you have a feeling for where it's going, the details will have you second-guessing yourself until the final set piece, and the last line is a killer.
DiCaprio still runs like a girl, mind.

I rewatched this one with my girlfriend and on a second viewing I feel exactly the same…way too long and although surprising in the end, it is not an amazing movie.
Di Caprio plays a Marshall that in the 50’s is called to Shutter Island (an asylum for criminal insane people) in order to investigate the disappearing of a mother who drowned the 3 kids she had. But in the island a lot of weird stuff seems to be happening, also with Nazis, world war trauma and psychology non-sense.
The end is better than the rest of the movie and it gets you thinking…but this is not enough for better than 3 ½ stars.

So I've decided to write an actual review for shutter island.

I'll admit, this is the first time I've watched a Scorsese movie so I didn't know what to expect, though im sure casino and good fellas aren't like this.

Shutter island is truly what a psychological thriller should be like. It intrigued me while confusing me at the same time to the point of having to pause it to catch up with everything.

DiCaprio and Ruffalo are brilliant in their roles as was theincredible Sir Ben Kingsley.

Scorsese must be the master as he can make such brilliantly different movies like this, good fellas and Hugo

I must really get onto watching his other work.

A super good film with a great ending

This is one of the few films based on a book that I didn't read the book first, but I put off watching this film mostly because of DiCaprio. He's not horrible, but I don't think he's particularly good either. I was pleasantly surprised though. It's a fairly good movie and I thought Mark Ruffalo was fantastic.

I need to read the book now. Hopefully I wont' be disappointed since i ruined the ending by seeing the movie first. I'm so ashamed.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Shutter Island is a great thriller with great acting. It has the scares, it has the jumps, it has the imagery, but what makes this film stand out is the way everything is presented. Unless you've read the book, you won't guess the ending...but you WILL feel stupid after seeing it.

Leo is a babe.

La que más me ha gustado de Scorsese en mucho tiempo.
