Shutter Island

I dunno...it's almost like the whole film was shown in the preview:

Shutter Island

But...we might just have the best horror/suspense film since the Shinning.

Good post.

It looks interesting, though I also wondered if the whole plot hadn't been given away in the trailer. Too many films seem to do that these days. I hope the trailer is deliberately misleading us, because the 'twist' looks as plain as day.

I didn't see any twist. Though I was concentrating/thinking about Dicaprio...how horribly unreliable his accents tend to be and how his acting, while brilliant at times can be very flat. Well..not flat, but not deep, I dunno. He usually Cruises it, always playing a different version of himself.

Maybe I should have paid more attention to the trailer.

Well, the mystery seems to be building up to "who is patient 67?" If the twist is patient 67 is DiCaprio and he's really been a patient all along but just didn't know it, I will be supremely unimpressed. The trailer seems to be leading to that conclusion, though I hope it's a deliberate red herring by marketing.

It would make sense since Hollywood is copying Asian concepts (Oldboy again).

I've read that The Departed (one of my favs) is Internal Affairs with a little visual Oldboy sprinkled on it. Has anyone seen IA?

I've seen Infernal Affairs and it's great. I love almost anything with Tony Leung in it but, other than that, it's just a solid drama about police corruption. I haven't bothered to watch The Departed as it doesn't look or sound like it bothered to do anything new with the material, and Scorcese is way too talented to be doing straight remakes. Infernal Affairs is definitely worth seeing.
