Too mind-twisting, Scorsese has made better stuff

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2012)

Actors are excellent (DiCaprio has pleasantly surprised me again), but the plot has its shortcomings -- there are so many issues unsolved or unexplained, e.g. whom did the main character meet in reality or why he suffered his illnesses. The movie itself is a bit lengthy (suspense is sometimes lost), and the ending is too sophisticated as well.
Director and cameramen, however, have done nice work, making Shutter Island definitely an A-movie. But, in my opinion, The Others and The Sixth Sense (among others) are better. But if you just like to experience in common or like to be captivated by gloominess and mystery, then this movie is meant for you :)
