Excellent mystery/thriller DiCaprio film

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2017)

Shutter Island (2010) is one of my absolute favorite mystery thrillers. Leonardo DiCaprio is great in the lead role. And Michelle Williams is good too, you can hardly tell she's even acting, it all just seems so natural. Ben Kingsley plays his role very well. The script is well written and it keeps you very invested the entire way through. The visuals in the film also contribute to the eerie/creepy feeling the whole movie gives the audience. This feeling is what makes you want to keep watching, this is NOT a film that anyone will be checking the time during. The movie is kind of long but you never feel like it's slow or dragging, they make every minute count. When you put the awesome visuals, impeccable dialogue, and great masterful acting all together, it makes for a great film, course when has Martin Scorsese ever disappointed? His directing is very precise and very careful. If you like scary movies, I think you'll enjoy this one, as long as you like scary movies that give you a bit of a challenge, ones that are more then just cheap slashers. On the other hand, if you just want a piece of escapist entertainment, something simple like a Friday the 13th, then try something else. I 100% suggest this film! It's just so well made in every aspect and incredibly entertaining.
