With Shutter Island Martin Scorsese knows very well what story he is delivering. Sadly so do we way to early, but they still manage to pull out quite the performance. No-one can dispute Scorsese's talent, and the same can be said about most of the cast. It's an ensemble, and they deliver like Scorsese usually gets his cast delivering. DiCaprio, Ruffalo, Mortimer, Williams, Kingsley, von Sydow and the rest makes the movie what it is.
Because there's a familiarity about the story. I might be getting a little too familiar with Hollywood, but I did at least know the entire movie less than a third into it. Not always a bad enough thing, but with this genre I usually prefer getting a bit sidetracked along the way. Still. Scorsese's directing, the great acting and the set of Shutter Island itself and the mood it creates is enough to make this movie well worth your time.
