Deja vu all over again

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2010)

It isn't even a real spoiler anymore to state that a modern mystery thriller has got another "alter ego"- plot point in the end. Oh, how surprising. The main character finds out that the he himself is Tyler Durden/a dead guy with a hole in the stomach/a bunch of people in a motel/the author of the mysterious book/the house ghost/the invisible friend of his daughter/John Turturro wearing a stupid head... Yeah, it's deja vu all over again. Shutter Island is a decent, exciting horror thriller. Scorsese and all the fine actors from Leo to Ted Levine, from Mark Ruffalo to Max von Sydow, from Carol Lynch to Patricia Clarkson, they did a damn fine job. The only flaw is that it ends the same way thrillers end since 1998. So one more time, let's say it all together: BORING!
