#2 Shutter Island



I am way behind on this. I actually saw this quite a while ago. All in all it wa sa decent film. I was a little confused why 1) it was promoted as a horror/ghost movie, and 2) why it was never mentioned that it was based on a novel by Dennis LeHane. The latter would have been enough for me to see it. I love his novels, and previous films made from his books (Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone) were big successes.
The film had some good twists and turns, but to veteran film goers weren't big surprises. However the acting and filming were great. It's certainly worth checking out.
