Great actors. Good showcase for DiCaprio

Rating: 6/10 (24 April 2010)

Great actors, some decent parts. Excellent showcase for DiCaprio's talent. I especially dislike psycho-thrillers of this sort. Had I known Shutter Island to be one I would not have avoided the trip to the theater or purchased tickets for Kick Ass. After saying all of that I confess that Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the better actors to develop in the past fifteen years; if you have not seen Blood Diamond you must do so. The premise of Shutter Island is a good one, but stretches any credibility by asking the viewer to believe that many medical professionals would stage such an elaborate ruse. Michelle Williams is particularly well cast in her role and performs accordingly.
