Movie Review: Shutter Island



So, I'm jumping on the bandwagon and reviewing Martin Scorsese's latest thriller, Shutter Island starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Mark Ruffalo and Sir Ben Kingsley. This is one of those films that I feel I need to watch again to give it a fair shot, but here are my initial impressions: It's a flawed psychological thriller that tries too hard to be something it's not--a homage to Hitchcock. I never say a movie 'sucks' because I feel that most films have something to offer--however, saying that, I have to admit to never having seen From Justin to Kelly.
