An instant Classic!

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2010)

First off let me say any review I could ever possibly write could not do this film justice, so go watch it and you will find out what a masterpiece it is.
I went into Shutter Island expecting a great movie, I mean can you really go wrong with Scorsese and Dicaprio, well I walked out of there knowing I had seen more than a movie, I saw a piece of art one that will stay with me forever.
I won't get into the details of the story as I wouldn't want to spoil anything for you, but as the movie opens with a heavy fog you know you are in for a hell of a ride. Leonardo Dicaprio once again proves to us that he is one of the finest actors working today, and there is not a scene of bad acting from anyone in the movie, Ben Kingsley is excellent as the foreboding and sinister Director of the Institute and Max von Sydow is great as the German Doctor, but the real spotlight is on Leo Dicaprio and Mark Ruffalo, and they both pull off their performances with such integrity and ferocity.
When the Oscars role around next year, I would bet a lot of money this movie will have more than one nomination to its name.
A note to sensitive viewers and woman, there are some very touchy subjects and scenes, which could disturb a lot of people, so watch at your own risk.
10/10 is my rating for this movie, and it has easily fallen into my top ten movie list.
