Shutter Island



Psychotic flick. Slow, steady paced. Those who are used to watching fast paced movies, might run out of patience. Overall, is an intriguing flick.

Pluses:
  • Goes without sayin, Leo :)
  • Intense feel of the flick.
  • Engulfed with mystery throughout, keeps u glued to the seat..howsoever slow paced.
  • Leaves you tossing between the basics of the movie, whether its a suspense or a horror(after life kinda thin)
  • The final scene however is the best shot in the entire flick. :)

Minuses:

  • Slow paced as mentioned.
  • The final revelation is not all that moving or shocking. There is always an element of clue and open ends which gives u enough room for various assumptions. Hence doesnt come out as a mind boggling surprise.And this is where it looses on my rating for the movie.
  • The nightmares of his wife drags a little too much, at times gets unbearable.

My Rating: 3/5
