Probably the best psychological thriller

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2010)

When i first heard of "Shutter Island", i was a little bit disappointed because i hoped that Scorsese was going to helm his mob-pic "I Heard You Paint Houses" next. Now i'm really happy he didn't.
Let me say that this is (in my opinion) one of the most terrifying and atmospheric movies i have ever seen. It is so well-crafted it catched my whole attention from the beginning to the end. I will not go into the plot details because i don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen the movie already.
I think everyone who watches this movie can feel from the very beginning that there's something wrong with all these characters, especially with Ben Kingsley's character. Most of the viewers expected a plot twist, but the twist of this movie explains so much things I wondered about before and it left me breathless.
Leonardo DiCaprio delivers yet again another excellent performance. Same for Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo. Although there weren't much scenes with Max von Sydow, he played his part really outstanding.
I'm going to watch this movie a second time.
