Shutter Island • Drama
Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the new Martin Scorsese film, “Shutter Island.” The preview for the movie was suspenseful and intriguing. The movie revolves around U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) as he tries to solve the mystery of a mentally ill patient who somehow vanished out of her room; or so it seems.
Going into the movie, I believed it was going to be scary with murders, mentally ill patients and secrets that Daniels is not allowed to leave the island with. However, it was not scary at all, but psychologically intense and demanding. Viewers will find themselves debating throughout the movie about who is sane and who is crazy along with who is lying and who is telling the truth. However, with DiCaprio’s acting one never doubts the truth of his character. The acting and visuals of “Shutter Island” make it a great movie to go see, but be ready for some artistic and confusing scenes that require mental concentration and thought.
