A Great new experience out of an hackneyed plot.

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2013)

So many times have we seen a movie which ends the way Shutter Island does. But this movie explains what difference a great story teller, what Martin Scorsese is, can do to any script, any story or film given to him.
Even though many of you would get a hint of a part of the ending while watching, the way I got, but still it didn't take anything away from the film. Just after watching for the first time I got irritated slightly and started cursing the film maker for messing up the whole plot but then I realized that it is where the greatness of the film lies.
The film is very engrossing, captivating and a must watch. It is not a film you can watch with a popcorn and a soda in your hands. You have to tickle your brain nerves to really enjoy it. Martin has really worked very hard to bring each and every detail perfectly out on the screen and you should do justice by watching it sedulously. If you do not do so, you would be blaming it on the ending, but this is a film where the body of the film makes such an impact that ending becomes just a puppet of it.
It is supposed that mystery movies are enjoyable only once, but it is such a good film that you can watch it several times without getting bored. The plot has been woven together so deftly that even when the mystery is out in the end you are able to relate it so easily to the subtleties that it all becomes very convincing, but again for that you have to watch the movie with a great focus and respect for the genre and the film maker.
