It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything – his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Pingback: Shutter Island Movie Review
Perhaps, my expectations were a tad too high before walking into the theater, but it’s difficult not to expect a phenomenal film with Scorsese at the helm. I must admit, my problem with the movie is based solely on the actual story line, since I am able to recognize that the cinematography and Scorsese’s “Hitch cockian” approach to the film are definitely its highlights. If you and I have anything in common, initially, you base whether or not you like a film on the script, the actual story being told, with the director’s vision, their angle for telling the story, following close behind. Long story short,while I was able to see the positives while watching Shutter Island(the acting and the film’s direction will not disappoint), I found the film to be predictable and just simply, nothing special at all.
