Title: shutter island
Post by: rtil on February 22, 2010 01:47 AM
saw it last night

it's good but it could have been great

some of the soundtrack & camerawork / editing was bad, and the dream sequences were poorly done. other than that, it was a great thriller and while some things are obvious you're left guessing about a lot of plot elements right up until the end. not scorcese's best movie but by recent standards it's a must see

i quite enjoyed it. some parts felt redundant, but it kept me guessing throughout the entire movie.

and the ending kind of threw me off, which is why i kind of enjoyed it, because you didn't know who to believe.

i do agree that some parts of the editing were cut weird. and some parts where there was really loud, over dramatic music wasn't needed, example, a simple car pulling up to a gate.

all in all, it was a good movie to watch for the first time

I believe it is what the Romans would call, a pun, be it that.

Ripping good play on words as it be.
