Shutter Island is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane. (Paramount Pictures)
I had sort of guessed what the twist would be so when we finally got there I was thinking depending on how well they put this across it's either going to sink or soar. Well it soared and the final act impressed me but the whole wasn't amazing and that plot device has been done too many times before to really surprise.
