I think Shutter Island is quite a mixed bag, but overall I was fairly pleased with it. Strong beginning and ending. Unfortunately, the stuff in between rather sucked. It's actually quite a mess in there. If only it had been not so muddled and more taut and believable, Shutter Island would've picked up more points.
Still, good asmosphere, solid acting, creepy characters, good setting, amazing music. Listen to 'On the Nature of Daylight' and you know what I mean.
Recommended, but with reservations.
Hey, at least it's better than Inception and Black Swan combined.
