Unreal

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2010)

This is another masterpiece from the master! A great story played out by a stunning cast makes Shutter Island the best film released since probably The Departed. The film opens with two U.S. marshals on a ferry going to Shutter Island and the tension starts then and doesn't end until the very end of the picture.
Although a great psychological thriller, this movie could have been a fine mysterious adventure film in the sense that the film opens with everything seeming like there has been a murderess escaping from her room.
Scorsese's directing once again is unmatchable and he gives us a more eerie experience than Cape Fear (1991). It is a pity this film missed Oscar time because this had the ability to take best picture, best director, best actor (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Best Supporting Actor (for either Sir Ben Kingsley or Mark Ruffalo).
The only thing this film is missing is a cameo from Robert De Niro. It would be good to see the pair team up once again for a ninth collaboration seeing as though DiCaprio has made four films with Scorsese and their are more in the pipeline.
A must see - anyone going to the cinema soon - see this. 10/10 - excellent!
