Shhh...Shutters...

Weekends have always been eventful; haven't been catching movies lately and the most recent?! 

sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

We caught 

Shutter Island 

~Welcome to the living nightmare~ 

That will be what is to be anticipated if you haven't yet caught this super impact thriller yet in the cinemas... A psychotic mystery-thriller directed by top director Martin Scorsesse,  Leonardo DiCapro starred as Teddy Daniels; whom with his partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), went to the Ashecliff Hospital for the mentally insane to investigate the disappearance of a woman named Rachael Solondo...

The movie started plain; filmed how isolated Ashecliff Hospital was -  the loneliness, desertion with the tight, impregnable security whereby "Teddy" and partner "Chuck" arrived while the search party for "Rachael Solondo" was carried out. A bad omen - hurricane-typed thunderstorm wrecked the Ashecliff, leaving the two investigators stranded on the island.

Throughout the show, flashbacks of "Teddy" hideous war-ridden pasts showed how he lived through his years of guilt and pain. There were scenes whereby German officials were shot and left to die; showing the crude past of World War II. (Apparently Leo enacted an official who was sent to aid that terrible war!!) Kinda gross parts since blood shed and they really got some very gross scene; not really gross for the eyes, but I would say gross for the mind...Therefore it is definitely not for the faint-hearted...

*****

Nevertheless, throughout the show, you can definitely anticipate yourself cracking your head - trying to figure out who is the good guy and who is the bad guy! A very controversial plot of Scorcesse, it cleverly worked your mind to judge what to expect and anticipate the next scene; whether it was to be the storyline or the character?!

Kind of lengthy for a mystery-thriller I would say; but definitely worthwhile for the "psychological" part to play with your minds... A thumbs up for those detective-mystery thrillers' lovers, the ending would be somehow hard to comprehend yet greatly unexpected.

Shutter Island is considered as another of Scorsesse's best art, much overwhelming than the last mystery "Sherlock Holmes" which I had watched previously last year.
