What does Scorsese create? He creates an ingenious of a picture which defines why Scorsese can make any film and twist it into a masterpiece. It's not about the investigation, which is what Scorsese fools us to think, it's about what's beneath the story and the unexpected sub-plot which blows our minds away. Just way to twisted and amazing. Leonardo DiCaprio on the other hand delivers the best performance of his career. He is emotionally engaged, and right in the film. His performance is what gives Shutter Island its substance. Shutter Island is one of the most underrated films I've ever seen.
