Movie Review

Movie: Shutter Island
Rating: 4 stars out of 5 stars

I think the trailer for this movie does it no justice. The trailer makes you think it is a horror movie. I would by no means categorize this movie as a horror flick. There were a few jumpy parts, but nothing too sever and not too much blood and gore. I would definitely say suspense drama. I think this is the second movie I have seen as Leonardo DiCarpio as the main character since Titanic and Catch Me If You Can. As for his role in this movie, overall, I think he did a good job. I'm not a huge fan of Leonardo DiCarpio and by no means think he is hot. But to each their own ... I felt that the plot was a little predictable. I mean what did you expect to visit a mental institution on an island and then not come back? ::yawn:: boring movie right there ... No! There had to be something suspenseful about it ... Without giving away much more of the movie ... I definitely left the movie clueless that night. However, the next day when I was discussing it with a fellow co-worker that also went to the pre-screening, I realized, DUH! The whole point at the end of the movie was to feel and question was he really crazy? Or did he become crazy? Or are you crazy for wondering whether he is or is not crazy. After having this epiphany - which seemed so dumb, I had a good laugh and realized then that the movie was not too bad. Definitely go check this one out if you like suspense and being on the edge of your seat.

Next on the pre-screening line up is Hot Tub Time Machine ... this coming Wednesday ... Stay tuned!
