Hauntingly powerful performance by Dicaprio!

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2012)

"Shutter Island" stands out from the usual batch of generic, rehashed, remakes or just plain stupid, movies they are cranking out as fast as they can these days.
US Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating a case of missing patient in an institute for dangerous mentally insane people. Along his investigation, he discovers that he is in a midst of a deep conspiracy. I won't go too much into the plot but I'll say this: The execution is nearly perfect. Shocking moments are delivered suddenly and swiftly. The twists and turns will keep anyone guessing throughout the movie. Intense, thrilling scenes which will keep a viewer's heart thumping are scattered throughout the film. Even after the final twist is revealed, the viewer can't help but suspect it due to the many deceptions before.
My only complaints would be the use of really loud music and pointless nudity which could've been easily avoided. If you're looking for a good thriller look no further. It's not 100% original but it will keep you intrigued and entertained, which is more than I can say for 99% of the movies Hollywood is blowing out of it's butt currently.
