Shutter Island

[talion]

You've all seen the ads. Suspenseful, rife with tension, blah, blah. Well, despite the creepy premise and some of the filming it truly wasn't all that suspenseful, or all that exciting. Once again you can see the general form of the ending about a third of the way into the film once the big clue comes out and you're basically just waiting through the rest of the film to see hwo they wrap it up. At about 2.5 hours it's a long wait, and not a hell of a lot to keep you entertained along the way. DiCpario seems ok, but Kingsley clearly wasn't into his role and I honestly felt like laughing at him a couple of times in the film, which I never normally feel like doing, as I think he's quite a talented actor. A sly cryptic note at the end, and then you're done. Yawn. I've already forgotten it. C-

Yep that movie was more or less a waste of time and money to make it and even
more of a waste of time to watch it.

I'd have to give this one a rating of D-

Well I gave it a try. Didn't make it through the whole thing. A waste if time, as said above. Too bad.
