Mind-bending thriller!

Rating: 9/10 (21 September 2013)

Just wow. This movie was so great I had to watch it a second time. Then a few days later a third. And every now and then I would watch it just for fun. I even went out to get the book, read it, and was able to play pictures in my head from the film at certain parts of the book. The film didn't leave much out.
Leonardo played his character, Teddy, so well that it was almost heart- breaking. Personally, it made me pretty emotional to witness everything his character goes through. Shutter Island is a tragic, dark, violent story that takes you down the rabbit hole to a deep layer of madness. The score for this movie was also brilliant. This Bitter Earth was my favorite and I encourage you to look it up. Especially the one with Dinah Washington; heartbreaking.
