Scorsese's Insane Flick

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2010)

After about a year later from first seeing the trailer this movie finally released, and came out with a bang! Shutter Island may not seem as your typical Scorsese picture - aside from the fact that it starred Leonardo DiCaprio - but definitely delivered a creepy, suspenseful, thriller of a 1950s insane asylum. Every single performance is amazing, especially DiCaprio's, who delivers an Oscar-worthy performance (as usual). Even though I read the book and knew what was going to happen this movie still kept me on the edge of my seat thinking what's going to happen next. I wouldn't consider this movie a horror which I liked because most horror movies nowadays are rushed and forgotten about a week after its release. It gave the audience the right dosage of blood, and kept them interested until the bittersweet end.
