Film review. Martin Scorsese knows something about surprise endings which twist meisters like M. Night Shyamalan seem to have forgotten. The twist doesn’t matter if you haven’t already told a good story. By the time Shutter Island gets to its twist‚ it has already told such a tale.

It makes sense of the madness‚ brings order to

Scorsese. And there’s been Taxi Driver‚ The Departed‚ Casino and now Shutter Island that I’ve seen. One thing I have been able to pick up from his movies‚ is that his subject matter tends to be either disconnected people from society or gangsters. Shutter Island is the former and I feel it’s a bit like a cross between Taxi Driver and The Green Mile. The year is 1954. Teddy (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a detective sent to Shutter Island‚ an island off the coast of America‚ that’s more or less an Alkatraz knock-off
