Solid neo-noir film that gives you that uncomfortable feeling all the way through

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2018)

I've been wanting to see Shutter Island ever since I saw the first trailer for it years ago. I'll watch any film directed by Martin Scorsese because I've loved just about everything he's done. This one didn't quite live up to my high expectations, but the acting was solid, as was the directing, sets, costumes, score, and special effects. That creepy uncomfortable feeling all good neo-noir films give you was there from start to finish. The only thing keeping this from having a higher rating was somehow knowing the ending from the get-go. But I still recommend the film, highly, and I'll definitely watch it again.
