It was with great excitement that I went to see Shutter Island recently. I had devoured the book of the same title by Dennis Lehane in a weekend and was eager to see what one of cinemas great directors would do with such ripe source material. Thankfully Scorsese delivered the goods in a brooding psychological thriller. He stuck fairly rigidly to the novel except maybe for the dream sequences which were fleshed out a little more in the book. Di Caprio & Kingsley were both strong in leading roles with great support from the ever dependable Mark Ruffalo. A nod also to the score on this one, understated but used to create tension effectively.
