Shutter Island (2010) - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

SYNOPSIS:

He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Is anyone else looking forward to seeing this movie? I think I'll get on Fandango and order my tickets NOW. :-)

Looks like something I'd like to see. :-)

It looks like it would be a good movie.

Caught a screener of this back in December. I have to say that I'm usually not a fan of DiCaprio but his last few have impressed me.

Having said that, probably one of his better performances and the movie as a whole is great. Scorcese departs from his usual style and actually does a pretty decent job. This is one I recommend to see at the theatre. 3.5 stars from me.

Not to totally dismiss your rating, but 3.5 stars doesn't scream 'must see' :-)

Any reason for the 3.5?

Having said that, I've been looking foreword to this film for a while now.

I am also a big Leonardo fan. I think if he continues to grow as an Actor he will be regarded as one of the greats.

Debating btwn this and Wolfman for Sat. I'm leaning towards this as I imagine Wolfman will be a gore fest- something mama does NOT like.

Apparently Wolfman is plain horrible. Typically I ignore reviews from critics and most people I know, but I have not heard ONE good thing about the movie.

I can't wait to see Shutter Island, probably going to see it on Sunday :-)

I just bought my tickets for Friday at 8 PM. :-)

I am not a Leo fan at all. I find him to be the weak link in 99% of the movies he does. I will probably watch this when it comes on dvd.

It was horrendous. I seriously fell asleep for a good 10 min.

And THIS movie, I am looking forward to it! I might try to get a midnight showing. This looks very good.

I am looking forward to seeing this. Not a fan of DiCrapio at all but he has made a few good movies. As for ratings? Seems like when a critic slams a movie I love it. The movies they love I think are garbage. Just like cigars, we all have different tastes.

Usually the ones he ends up dieing in. :-)

What a goofy movie. Never let go Jack! And then she pries his dead fingers off and sends him to hell. I seem to be the only one that views the film as a statement on women's behaviors lol...Anyone else notice that she was floating on something big enough for two people? I mean especially Leonardo, he was like 5'3 in that movie.
