Shutter Island Movie Review..
Bruce and I went to see this movie Saturday night because the trailer looked really great! Sadly, the movie was NOT like the trailer at all. It jumps around a lot and Leonardo DeCaprio's character starts one way and in the end, it is like the entire movie was a dream, or another reality that he created and he himself was insane from the death of his children that his wife drowned. Or was it? You are left to decide if it in deed was the reality that he could not live with and created a new life and name for himself or did they just MAKE him think he was insane? The ending left you hanging as he walked with the guards and psychiatrist to the Light House where Labotomy's were performed. It reminded me of a movie of long ago called "Jacob's Ladder" where the guy was dying and as his life and people in it came and went during that process...it jumped around from one person to another and again, you weren't sure what was reality and what wasn't. Anyway, we (and everyone else leaving the movie) were very disappointed and at $9.00/person to get in, I would have rather seen The Tooth Fairy! At least that would have been entertaining. Thumbs down on this one. :(
