Scorcese strikes again!
In Martin Scorcese's latest film, Shutter Island, he again does what he does best and what is a common theme in all of his movies: exploring the human psyche. This time, however, it is from a much different perspective and genre. In Shutter Island, Ted Daniels (Leonardo Di Caprio) is a US Marshall set on the task of investigating a missing inmate on the mental institution, Shutter Island. Throughout the film, Di Caprio is faced with horrid nightmares and flashbacks of his wife (Michelle Williams) and the memories of her death. These scenes artfully capture both the anguish that Di Caprio experiences and are cinematographically impeccable. Di Caprio's acting throughout the film is to a tee and he maintains his status as one of the most talented actors that Hollywood has ever seen. This film also has an ending that is both riveting and surprising.
Bottom Line: Psychological suspense doesn't get much better than this. Rating: 9/10
