Shutter Island     DVD/MOVIES

Leonardo DiCaprio is very convincing in his role as U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels – a man confronted with issues from his past which conflict with his present day logic whilst he carries out what seems to be, on the surface, a routine investigation.  Anything directed by Martin Scorsese usually doesn’t disappoint;  and Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo do fine jobs as supporting actors. I found the plot a bit complicated and didn’t think this movie was as good as Mystic River, based on a novel also written by Dennis Lehane,  but it certainly is worth a viewing if you like a psychological thriller with a few twists and turns.

I loved it Denise! Was complicated until the end and I was floored that I hadn't figured it out although I was disappointed for the main character at the end.
