Did It Suck Movie Reviews
Shutter Island
Review: 4 Stars Rated: 14A
There’s no shortage of straitjackets on Shutter Island. It’s a cold, dark, damp tale brought to life based on a 2003 novel by Dennis Lehane, and directed by old timer, Martin C. Scorsese.
Plot: Leonardo DiCaprio is a Federal Marshal named Teddy Daniels, called to investigate a patients disappearance on Shutter Island. Teddy and his partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) find out that this hospital for the criminally insane is more than what it appears.
A smart and interesting movie. I am happy to say that the trailers give nothing away to the mystery of the story. I was not that interested in going to see this film because DiCaprio is not my favourite actor but I was quite surprised at how much I really enjoyed it. There are good supporting roles by Ben Kingsley and Max von Sydow. The only critical thing I would have to say is this; the ending was drawn out a little too long even though I do understand why. Definitely Worth a Ticket

I enjoyed this movie. Not as intense and suspenseful as I was expecting but it was good.
this one I’m looking forward to seeing. sounds spooky and I like surprise endings. DiCaprio is also not our favourtie actor, but still a good one.
Also agree with figuring out the ending quickly, not the total plot of it but the reason, I do not think the ending was drawn out, movie went by fast, intriguing the entire way, great use of sound, especially at the beginning to draw you in. Excellent use of colour and effects from his past. All in all 4 out of 5 as well. This movie is rated 14A in Canada, do not agree with that, should have a full R rating as the US has set it.
hmmmm I have been intrigued by this but was quite unsure as to if I wanted to see it or not but now I think perhaps I shall…
Shutter Island preview is definitely well done and I can see it will attract viewers.
Review on Shutter Island I believe is well done and definitely will attract viewers.
I agree, he played his part exceptionally well along with having a very important roll in the movie. I might make this my second favourite DiCaprio movie, The Aviator (2004) being the first.
Mark Ruffalo played his role perfectly, this becomes especially noticeable when you hit the “surprise” ending.
I had the surprise ending figured out 10 minutes into the movie, but it was still terrific despite that.
