Mind-Bending Thriller!

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2010)

Martin Scorcese is one of the finest directors in cinema history. He made good film after good film for a couple decades now. The trend that started with Taxi Driver continues with his latest film, Shutter Island. This movie is one of those movies that you have to think just like in Inception. This movie builds up great suspense through out the movie.
This is about a U.S Marshal named Teddy who heads to Shutter Island, a mental hospital to investigate the escape of a patient.
The acting is very good here especially by Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Kingsley. They carried this movie pretty much. It is kind of ironic that Leo is casted in the two movies that required people to use their brains.
There are many twists and turns. Most people will not expect the final half to happen as it did. There will be a few people who will jump in their seats.
Overall, this is a highly thought out movie. I love these kind of movies where I have to think. Too bad this probably will not receive any Oscar nominations. I rate this film 9/10.
