Shutter Island, I have only heard great things about this movie, but never got around to seeing it. [...] THE GOOD: Superb acting, amazing twists, makes you think too much, everything basically. THE BAD: Confusing. THE UGLY: none OVERALL: See this movie no matter what. It will cause your mind to race. A masterpiece. RATING: 10/10 A rare perfect score.

A very interesting film, I like that it keeps you thinking.

Did not mind this movie at all. The suspense, danger and mystery too, it was unique.
| 7/10 | shazjoao@ - 1728 reviews 20.10.2011 |
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.

Scorsese moves away at what he usually creates on screen, and focusses more towards a dark grisly thriller with mystery written all over it. The best part of Shutter Island is he takes the film in a direction where you never thought he would go. In the trailer, and from billboards, you think the movie is about the one thing, the criminal investigation. However, the movie goes beneath that idea and focusses on something deeper and more personal. You think it's about one thing, but instead the film tricks you (Scorsese brilliantly tricks you) that the film is actually about something else. Scorsese's ingenious magic in which he confuses us with what the story actually is, and ultimately goes in a direction that nobody thought he would've gone towards. Shutter Island is a mystery, and is exactly what the film industry needs right now. A film that doesn't go over our heads in waves, and instead provokes us to think and it's directed by a filmmaker who can master anything. Shutter Island will shut you down and whirl you into the world of a crazy person. Leo's best performance.

Very very good movie, you should watch it, it is hard to guess untill the end.
| 10/10 | swantears@ - 3 reviews 26.12.2010 - age: 18-25 |
WOW What a movie and what an ending... makes you wonder if things are really what they seem?.. Leo was GREAT... AGAIN.
| 9/10 | isles99@ - 80 reviews 16.8.2010 - age: 36-49 |
I really like the movie, how it lets us into the character's twisted way of dealing with some messed up situation. Leo is very convincing, as usual and Mark Ruffalo was the perfect partner. The scenes were very well directed as it gave the viewer a sense of urgency that the main character was conveying. It made the ending even more mind blowing! Don't miss that movie! It was just a bit long at times which slowed down the pace a tad too much.
| 8/10 | linyn_6@ - 19 reviews 28.7.2010 - age: 18-25 |
I thought this movie was pretty unique and mind-bending by the end, cetainly makes the audience think. Love Leonardo's acting, felt real sympathy for him by the end.
| 8/10 | ashulaces@ - 20 reviews 25.7.2010 - age: 18-25 |
A definite brain twister and must-see movie. Keeps you on your toes, and the acting keeps you guessing. Leo was superb, as well as the supporting actors played their roles to a tee. Thought it was going to be more of a thriller, but i'am thrilled that it challenged my mind that much. Great movie!
| 9/10 | twinkletoes1502@ - 5 reviews 22.7.2010 - age: 13-17 |
Truly mind-blowing, as are all psychological thrillers. Although not an original one, this movie is a masterpiece, at least in terms of directional work. Perhaps not as good as Taxi Driver, but close enough.
| 9/10 | rocafrank@ - 27 reviews 14.7.2010 - age: 18-25 |
Terrible , terrible movie. I did not like it what's so ever!!!
| 1/10 | chantignysk8@ - first review 13.7.2010 - age: 13-17 |
This movie was horrible, I didn't get it at all and I was questioning it for days after I got out of the theater, I think maybe the directors got it and they could explain it to others but I DONT GET IT kbyeee have a nice dayyyo.
| 1/10 | ttyl_tash@ - first review 10.7.2010 - age: 13-17 - 2 replies |
This movie pulls you in and makes you question everything and everyone. It had more twists and turns than a pretzel. Leonardo was great as always, as was the writing and directing. It is well worth watching. Scorsese does it again!
| 9/10 | bradshawscott@ - 100 reviews 10.6.2010 - age: 26-35 |
On voit venir le punch gros comme le bras... Décevant... Points positifs: les décors et le traitement de l'image. Performance de Dicaprio correcte mais sans plus.
| 5/10 | taloddie@ - 12 reviews 9.6.2010 - age: 26-35 |
Amazing. BEST twist since Sixth Sense!!! Leo is such an extraordinary actor - he never disappoints!!
| 9/10 | lilaim@ - 73 reviews 6.6.2010 - age: 18-25 |
Great film from Scorsese. Top actors tell an engaging story.
| 9/10 | eyeron.brow@ - first review 3.6.2010 - age: 18-25 |
Overall quite enjoyable. It dragged on a bit and probably would have benefited from being a bit shorter. Nice ending that didn't opt for a cheap double twist.
| 8/10 | parker_2@ - 297 reviews 29.5.2010 - age: 36-49 |
Great plot, Leo was really good, great twist at the end.
| 9/10 | matt_cruickshank@ - first review 28.5.2010 - age: 26-35 |
Once again Scorsese and DiCaprio have teamed up to produce an entertaining film with a very well written story. Though the film’s twist can be determined by a scrutinizing viewer before it is revealed, the film maintains a fast pace with minimal lulls, making it seem much shorter than its 2:28 run time. Uncertainty flows within the protagonist throughout the film, and a good balance is established between truth and lies, as well as dreams and reality, keeping the audience both entertained and intrigued. The film’s ending encapsulates the story well while providing an excellent twist to a quality storyline.
| 8/10 | hockeyplayeroftheyear@ - first review 28.5.2010 - age: 18-25 |
Very confusing, and unclear plot. Leonardo's acting was the only good part of this film. I really didn't like it, and don't recommend it.
| 4/10 | orkelly@ - 80 reviews 23.5.2010 |
I dont know about you but I just did not understand it I geuss cause it is intented for older people oh well.
| 6/10 | ryan.sydney.farrell@ - 5 reviews 22.5.2010 - age: 1-12 |
Typical of Leonardo... doesn't do a bad movie. But THIS one, well well written. Refreshing to watch a movie that's not predictable, nice twist, keeps you guessing, just AWESOME. Husband is critical with movies (esp Leonardo ones) and even HE loved it. It's a yes, go see!!
| 9/10 | cwasyl@ - 3 reviews 9.5.2010 - age: 26-35 |
Ok let me be honest, when I saw this movie, by the end of it, I was blown away! It was such a good plot twist at the end. Then, the other day, I came across This Older movie Called Memento. Not only did shutter island have exactly the similar ending, But that movie is much better and is so original you have no idea. Don't watch shutter island, watch Memento, it has to be one of the best movies I've seen, right after Fight Club.
| 5/10 | krazay88@ - 17 reviews 7.5.2010 - age: 13-17 - 3 replies |
This movie was truly incredable! Def go see it agian in theater.
| 9/10 | sopha.couch@ - first review 5.5.2010 - age: 18-25 |
Not a masterpiece... But definitely worth seeing, certainly in video.
| 7/10 | fabiana@ - 5 reviews 1.5.2010 - age: 26-35 |
Simply amazing! The story and the psychology in it makes it a masterpiece. Leonardo Di Caprio does a great job. I loved the fact that everything makes sense yet it is not cut clear.
| 10/10 | cdomrock@ - first review 29.4.2010 - age: 26-35 |
You can't lose. A movie by Scorcese - starring Leo DeCaprio... go see it. It's another masterpiece.
| 10/10 | cappucinno_cowgirl007@ - first review 27.4.2010 - age: 50+ |
I thought shutter island was a good movie and worth seeing but it was not very realistic and the twist on a twist I saw comming for a mile. Maybe it's because I'm a nurse who works on a mental health unit and therefore scrutinize it more than the average person.
| 7/10 | denean.morris@ - 23 reviews 25.4.2010 - age: 18-25 |
A dark film. Lots of tragic symbolism and twists of the mind, which might ostracize the light hearted, but certainly a lot going on in this psychological thriller. If you aren't a fan of the macabre or existential angst than this might not be a blast, but definitely a movie with substance.
| 10/10 | rwmk12@ - 23 reviews 22.4.2010 - age: 26-35 |
It was an okay movie kinda got weird in the middle but the ending was really good, not something I would pay to see again.
| 6/10 | modelle@ - 14 reviews 19.4.2010 - age: 18-25 |
OK so I read the reviews on here and thought "man I can't miss this movie". Well I would to know on what basis anyone could rate this movie any higher than a 6. yes the end is great, tones of twists but you have to go through the entire movie which could be summed up in 30 minutes. I would watch it for free on TV but would never want to pay to watch this again.
| 6/10 | littlebailey1@ - 2 reviews 18.4.2010 - age: 36-49 |
I'd read the book a few years ago, so I knew what to expect, but the performances, particularly Leo di Caprio's, opened my eyes to the living hell the mentally tortured must endure. Great Scorsese.
| 9/10 | jrdc@ - 7 reviews 18.4.2010 - age: 50+ |
What a junk! Those who made this movie insabe themselves.
| 1/10 | alexalexspb@ - first review 17.4.2010 - age: 36-49 |
I fell asleep. Yo. what up ppl this movie is not to be watched its to boring.
| 1/10 | joeypancel@ - first review 17.4.2010 - age: 26-35 |
The previews made it look like a silly supernatural thriller, but surprisingly, this movie was excellent, from beginning to end. Don't want to give anything away, just watch it.
| 9/10 | beachandtennis@ - 241 reviews 16.4.2010 - age: 50+ |
This movie bothered me. The previews sell it as a Horror flick. I expected something like Scorsese's Cape Fear and instead I got a "300" style blue screen for 99% of the movie, no real locations, all done in a studio thriller that was going nowhere, long and disappointing considering it is Scorsese flick and features the great DiCaprio but is a lame, lame movie. I give it some points for originality and for coming off as an independant foreign film but it is not! Not a worthwhile picture. Desappointing.

Didn't care for it. We were expecting ghosts... they're not in this movie. It was a boring movie about a mental patient in a insane ins. Wouldn't watch it again at all.
| 4/10 | bippy5@ - 6 reviews 10.4.2010 - age: 36-49 |
It was the stupidest thing I have ever seen... like, it doesn't even make sense!
| 3/10 | jeenafer@ - first review 10.4.2010 - age: 13-17 |
It was a good movie to watch. The twist and turns make u thinking, how could have it happened? Some scenes are creepy yes but very watchable overall. I don't recommend this movie for a young audience.
| 7/10 | sammy@ - 209 reviews 9.4.2010 - age: 26-35 |
So-far this is the best movie I've seen in 2010. I knew where this movie was going the whole time because a friend told me, but I was doubting it right up until the end! Definitely not one you want to miss. Although if you're not one for these kinds of movies steer clear.
| 10/10 | doorknobguy2@ - 23 reviews 9.4.2010 - age: 13-17 |
This was an excellent movie with interesting twists and turns.
| 10/10 | skd_1dragon@ - 3 reviews 9.4.2010 |
I loved it. It was creepy and twisted but not scary. It's has its slow and fast parts. It's a must see. You wont be disappointed.
| 9/10 | bffemily1997@ - 3 reviews 8.4.2010 - age: 13-17 |
This movie was alot better than I thought it was going to be.
| 7/10 | mamacat@ - 18 reviews 7.4.2010 - age: 50+ |
It was pretty interesting. Mind boggling in parts. But go see it.
| 8/10 | falling.ino.grace@ - first review 7.4.2010 - age: 18-25 |
Excellent movie, makes you think a lot about denial and responsability. Top acting as well.
| 9/10 | badjude01@ - 2 reviews 6.4.2010 - age: 18-25 |
