Once again Scorsese proves why he is at the top!

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2010)

I went into this movie knowing well..not really knowing what to expect. All I knew is that it had to be a good film since it was directed by Scorsese. And boy was I right.
The movie catches your attention and never lets go right up until the ending. The suspense and storyline are above average. I'm not even sure I blinked.
The first picture you see is U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) throwing his brains up as he enters the shallow waters of Shutter Island. Teddy and his partner have to find the missing patient (not prisoner!)that seemed to disappear from her cell. Unraveling this mystery won't be easy as nobody seems to want to help. I don't want to write too much about the plot or give away any of the details, but I do want to say I think this was a defining film for DiCaprio in many ways. While you are watching this film, take note of his performance; hopefully it will finally silence those who doubt his acting abilities. He definitely belongs in the conversation as one of the elite actors of our generation.
10/10..a must see for any real movie watcher. I can't wait to add this title to my collection.
