Scorsese at his worst

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2010)

Shutter Island had a promising premise and a good trailer, but when I left the theater I was totally annoyed - movie was worst scheisse that Scorsese has put out (saying it mildly).
First thing that bugged me was the quality of film - it could have been badly focused projection of the film in the theater in question (Kinopalatsi, Helsinki) - but I noticed that some scenes had really blurry shots because director of photography chose the depth of field totally wrong. Film had some visual moments, but general blurriness of picture ruined those moments.
Story was incomprehensible with it's flashbacks and twists. DiCaprio was just going around the island without any significance. Story didn't go nowhere and it was getting boring in the end.
I can imagine Hollywood producers thinking that they will combine atmosphere from the 'Shining' with story similar with 'Beautiful Mind' and TV series 'Prisoner'. I think that Scorsese didn't have much to say in this - I can't believe that he would have done this voluntarily, probably did it just for money.
