Shutter Island is a spectacle and a mysterious film by the works of Martin Scorsese.  This is a unique movie choice for the living legend but you can’t argue with a director trying to take a new creative project.  His leading actor Leonardo DiCaprio joins him for their 4th movie together and the movie will leaves people debating and talking about it for some time.

Teddy (DiCaprio) and partner Chuck (Ruffalo) are US Marshals sent to Shutter Island to investigate the whereabouts of one of the facilities mental patients who is a murderer.  As the investigation begins, the two encounter creepy and mysterious things about the island and it’s staff that leads to a wild ride thriller from there on out.  This movie leaves a lot to be talked about and will stop here from continuing to talk about the plot and what happens do to the spoiler.  It’s a complicated movie that has some pros and cons, and I’m still debating whether I thought this was an excellent movie or not.  The acting was great, but with Leo, Ben Kingsley, and Ruffalo, you expect nothing else and for the performances a lone I would see them.  Kingsley does a great job at playing the smart and sophisticated doctor who runs the show although has enough creepiness in his demeanor that you don’t quite trust him.  Leonardo is my favorite actor and may be considered the best actor of over the past decade.  The cinematography was gorgeous and Scorsese does a great job of bringing this island alive.

The movie runs about 25 minutes too long and gets complicated in certain areas.  It’s a little too tricky for its own good at times, and some sequences were not pieced together the best way and left me and other viewers confused about what the point of it was.

All in all this is a different type of movie that should be watched, and definitely needs to be watched a second time in order to find the subtle clues that may have been missed the first time, although I don’t know if it is a movie worthy of seeing a second time.  Scorsese did a nice attempt at this thriller, but I think there are too many things preventing it from being a classic.

Here is my snap video of Shutter Island.

It has been confirmed to TheMovieBanter.com that Shutter Island has been pushed to February 2010.  An interesting move if you ask me.  I have one theory why this happened.  This movie is going to suck.

Now if you watch the trailer, the movie looks like a pretty standard suspenseful horror movie where the employees of a bizarre institutional facility are secretly cahooting together to hurt patients.  Basically, something you’d expect to see fellow Wash U grad Peter Sarsgaard in.

I remember sitting in theaters a couple weeks ago, for The Hurt Locker

, and the trailer for Shutter Island popped up. My buddy leaned over next to me and said, that looks awesome. I looked at him and said, that movie looks awful – he subsequently gave me an “are you insane” glance.  That person knows who they are.  Anyways, the basis for him saying “that looks awesome” was entirely on the fact that Martin Scorsese is directing it and Leo is starring in it.  Well, both of those guys probably now regret making the film.

By being pushed to February 2010, Shutter Island complete misses the Oscar season. Was that strategically done?  Hmmmm, probably.  Most February premiering movies are sort of lost as well.  At that time, people are pretty much only seeing Oscar buzz’d movies. Shutter Island will probably just get lost in the Oscar fog.

Will this impact any of their careers? No, they are both legends. But it will be interesting to see if this movie does in fact suck
