Not scary as advertised

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2010)

Two U.S. Marshals Teddy (DiCaprio) and Chuck (Ruffalo) investigate the disappearance of woman inmate for the criminally insane at Shutter Island.
The hype for scariness for this movie had me vowing to only watch it during a bright, sunny afternoon. Not to worry. This was not as scary as advertised. In fact the whole twist was given away early on and no, I won't tell what it is, but there are clues that practically hit you over your head. I am certain you will figure it out as I did and I am slow with these things.
The acting by all is very good. I just wish the story was better. It was not, but the opportunities were certainly there. For all the hype that came with this movie, there was no suspense, tension and you really don't care about the characters. You'll see. Still, it will hold your interest even though you have figured it all out. Something, eh?
Oh, I did watch it on a bright, sunny afternoon. Turns out, I didn't have to. Not scary.
