My rant and rave page!

It's been ages since I've watched such a great movie. I didn't want to at first I thought it was a horror flick but a friend told me it's actually a thriller, although it did leave her feeling very confused in the end. So I went to watch it myself and paid extra attention so I wouldn't end up confused in the end but there was no need to because it's the kind of movie that will draw you in all on its ownsome. I'm crappy at reviews but nevertheless here's my attempt at one...

Teddy Daniels (Leo DiCaprio) along with his partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo) are both US marshalls that are brought on to Shutter island to solve a the mystery of the missing Rachel Solander (Emily Mortimer), an inmate that killed three of her kids and that has escaped. Now Shutter Island is basically an island that has mental asylums for various mentally ill people, especially of the criminally insane variety. The asylums and the head docter/psychiatrist Cawley (Ben Kingsley) are super creepy and from the get go you'll become suspicious of him. Then Teddy starts to have these inexplicable flashbacks about the dead kids, this Rachel chick and his dead wife Dolores (Michelle Williams) and it's as if he is being drugged by the doctors and staff because it's been suggested that it was all a plan to lure him to the island because he was asking too many questions regarding the sketchy brain surgeries that he heard is being done to the patients, so they want to make him insane and keep him there.

But the twist! Oh the twist! I wont say more save that this movie was well written and extremely clever. Martin Scorsese's attention to detail is always astounding. I wasn't confused in the end, I knew why he did what he did, I guess different people will have their own take on what his last words were. Whatever the case it will leave you amazed and wondering. Watch it!!
