My take on “Shutter Island”
So let me start of by saying that I’m in no way a pro movie critic or and esteamed writer. I am simply a lover of movies and love to talk about them. With that said, here’s my quick take on shutter island…
Visually awesome. They really walked the walk and talked the talk for the time, right down to the filter-less cigarette. As for the story, I wish I could say that I was more supprised of the twist. No question it’s harder these days to make a smart thriller, but this just reminded me of a less complicated 2010 “Memento”. Personally, I like complicated, it keeps the group talking after the movie. The way the twist was unfolded was nice and the acting was spot on. Some of the hard shots really reminded me of his 1999 “Bringing out the Dead” (nice) and the soundtrack, although overpowering at times, was very Kubrick. All in all I give “Shutter Island” a 7-10 and I do plan on picking up a blu-Ray copy to see those beautiful colors in Teddy’s dreams. See you next time. Thanks for reading!
