Shutter Island

Drama
2.5 stars
Disappointing and clichéd. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo act as U.S. Marshalls investigating a woman’s disappearance at an asylum for the criminally insane. The overly exaggerated Boston accents were an assault to my ears, but I eventually got used to it. Michelle Williams was the only one with a convincing - there’s no nice way to put it - lower class accent. Hollywood should really consult me first when it comes to Boston accents! Anyway, we’ve all seen mental asylum movies before and this one is pretty typical. No one can top One Flew Over The Coo Coo’s Nest! We all expect better from the likes of Martin Scorsese and DiCaprio.
