A very well crafted thriller

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2011)

Of all the Scorcese movies ever made, surprisingly, this would have to be one of the best. It follows Teddy Daniels, a Boston based US Marshal in 1954, who is sent to Shutter Island, an island off the coast of Massachusetts, to find a missing patient who has escaped from a mental hospital.
What makes Shutter Island such a good film is the way in which it never fails to keep the audience entertained and interested in what is going to happen next. It uses sophisticated dialouge which is timed, crafted and acted perfectly.
The acting from Leonardo Di Caprio as Marshal Teddy Daniels and Ben Kingsley as the founder of the mental hospital which is known as Ashecliffe mental hospital for the criminally insane, is probably the best acting in the movie, and what also makes this fantastic movie so great is the way that it manages to make its horror and thrills so stylish.
One of the best movies of 2010, definitely well worth the watch.
