Shutter Island. Very well produced movie with a really creepy atmosphere truly one of martin Scorcese's memorable movie. The tone given is so dark one is can think that this is a horror flic which it is not really. This is a great psycho thriller in the lines of the best Hitchcock. I hope by now every one is convinced that Dicaprio is not only a name in bright lights but also a solid actor. Ben Kingsley and all secondary actors also play excellent roles. This movie will definitely go down as one of his good performances. A great story line, excellent casting and a "mise en scene" which is really perfect. The story itself brings such a thick paranoia which is supported by the dramatic score (including Ligeti and John Cage). The story itself is about an investigator sent to an isolated island to investigate the disappearance of an inmate. The prison is a giant psycho ward isolated from the rest of the world. But nothing is really as it seems at first glance even our investigator... Gotta see this one.

Encore une réussite de Martin Scorcese et de DiCaprio. La distribution est excellente avec Leonardo et Ben Kingsley qui y joue un excellent rôle. Attention ce film est très noir et l'atmosphère paranoïaque est très réussi, mais ce n'est pas un film d'horreur comme la bande-annonce pourrait le laisser entendre. L'histoire ici est d'un enquêteur qui se rend sur une île isolée ou on retrouve un pénitencier psychiatrique aux airs douteux. Rien n'est ce qu'il semble dans cette histoire même notre enquêteur. Très bonne histoire, et tres bien realisée. Chapeau!

Great quotes:
Rachel 2: You're smarter than you look, Marshall, that's probably not a good thing


Teddy Daniels: [final lines; Teddy's taking to his partner] You know, this place makes me wonder... Chuck Aule: Yeah, what's that, boss? Teddy Daniels: Which would be worse, to live as a monster or die as a good man? Chuck Aule: [as Teddy walks out to meet the orderlies] Teddy?
