Fascinating Scorsese

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2011)

It's 1954.Federal Marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital.He works with a new partner, Chuck Aule.He knows there is something going on in that place, he just doesn't know what it is.Shutter Island from 2010 is a Martin Scorsese film.It's based on the Dennis Levane 2003 novel.Leonardo DiCaprio does excellent job in the lead playing Teddy.Mark Ruffalo isn't any worse as Chuck.Ben Kingsley is terrific as Dr. John Cawley.Michelle Williams is very good as Dolores Chanal.Great job by Emily Mortimer, who plays Rachel Solando.Same thing with Patricia Clarkson, who plays Dr. Rachel Solando.Veteran actor Max Von Sydow gives a brilliant portrayal of Dr. Jeremiah Naehring.The movie has a bit of a slow start, but it turns into something pretty fascinating.Then you can't really tell what's gonna happen next.There are some disturbing images from the Dachau concentration camp and also of three drowned children.The twist in the end is something I certainly wasn't expecting.
