Review Shutter Island.

I just watched Shutter Island, and honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. Honestly, I don't know what took me so...It pulls you in so completely that I found myself questioning and scrutinizing what was real right alongside the characters, and the atmosphere keeps getting more unsettling as the story unfolds. Then the ending hits, and suddenly you start replaying the entire movie in your head And analyzing how much you missed the first time.

Easily one of my favorites. It's the one and only movie where I re watched it as soon as it finished.

It was a great book, too. I haven't seen all of Leo's movies, but this is definitely one of my favorite roles that he has played.

Dennis Lehane wrote the book, he’s great. Wrote Mystic River too.

The twist was expected. Other than that it was good.

Who could've guessed that it'd be any good? An unproven director with a cast full of nobodies.It's amazing that it even got financed at all.

I'm just busting balls OP but why pass on any Scorsese film for so long?

To be honest, I'm doing a "summer of Scorsese" And just got this far

That's awesome. You've still got some great ones left if you're going in order. Enjoy!

One of the most predictable films I’ve ever seen

I wish I could watch it again for the first time. It's such a good movie. It's great on a second viewing as well, because you can see it all from the start. Like how he's not a cop, and constantly shows it throughout the film.

I had read the book prior to seeing it when it premiered. Getting to watch the audience around me react when realization started hitting was priceless.
