I'm interested to see how faithfully the movie captures the book. Great read!

Good movie. Official review tomorrow.

Can't wait to hear what you guys thought.. I definitely want to see this! No spoilers tho please

As usual, no spoilers.

Leonardo DiCaprio is Deputy U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, he and his partner Chuck are dispatched to Shutter Island, a maximum security mental institution on an island off the coast of Boston to investigate the disappearance of a dangerous mental patient. What comes next is a mind **** of twists and turns, some, which were a little obvious, and others that were totally unexpected.

Leo was on top of his game in this and played a completely believable character (you will see why I say believable when you watch the movie). Mark Ruffalo played Deputy U.S. Marshal Chuck Aule and paired with DiCaprio they made a perfect team. There was a ton a charisma between the two of them. The plot is rock solid and Martin Scorsese I believe really came out of his comfort zone with this film, it says Scorsese, but not in the sense the Departed did. It’s very different and it would be great to see him further branch out like he did with Shutter Island.

The score for this movie was perfect. Their were some pretty dramatic scenes and a few that were spooky as well, the music at times made me think the hair on my neck was going to stand up at any minute. I heard a few people say they fell asleep during this movie, that it was Leonardo DiCaprio’s worst film, etc. I don’t think that could be further from the truth, in fact I would venture to say that was one of his BEST performances to date. I would love to see Scorsese, DiCaprio, and Ruffalo back on the screen together for another film.

I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Just saw this and would agree that it was very good altho- and I won't continue for those who have not seen it.

Did anyone else see it?

eber · 02-21-2010, 11:22 AM

I am going this afternoon, will post my thoughts after

NeuRon · 02-21-2010, 11:43 AM

Im going to see it this week..

I find it interesting how so many people dislike DiCaprio.. sure he looks like some little panzie that used to get beat up in high school. But all BS aside, he is a VERY talented actor..

I saw it last night and thought it was awesome. I would agree with the mind **** element of it. After it ended it was just like what the hell did I just see, but in the very best way possible.

Yeah, I had to tell Danielle my thoughts to see if she agreed, to make sure I was on the right track.

I just saw it tonight and I thought it was incredible, stellar performances from all cast members IMO it is awesome when you leave a movie and look at your watch and go "wow I didn't know this was that long!!!" never once did I get bored. I highly recommend it!!!

I was not super crazy about this movie. I guess I had too high of an expectation for it.

I like Leonardo, haven't seen many of his films, trailer depicts impressive sequence. I will think about it.

Check out Romeo and Juliet, Gangs of New York, and The Aviator. The Baketball Diaries was good too.

Read on Wikipedia that Dicraprio is interested in playing Roland in a Dark Tower project. Christian Bale is also interested, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I thought it was mediocre and predictable. I wouldn't watch it more than once.
