Preview of Martin Scorsese's New Thriller 'Shutter Island'
Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island has finally arrived. After the mystery thriller's delay from its scheduled release in October of last year, we'll finally get to see Marty and Best Friend Forever Leonardo DiCaprio's fourth collaboration at the beginning of next month.
In the 67 year-old director's 21st feature film, it's 1954, and federal marshalls Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are sent to Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of a young woman, murderess Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), from the island's insane asylum. The initially straightforward investigation turns ugly, however, as the increasingly delusional Teddy begins having visions of his troubled past, and he and his partner are forced to remain on the island...
Any new Scorsese film is something to be excited about. His best, including Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and The Departed, are enduring classics and even his mediocre films (of which there are few, might I add) always have some merit to them. Although I can't think right now what that scrap of merit was in The Age of Innocence.
Similarly, DiCaprio's name on a project is a seal of quality - like fellow Hollywood studmuffins George Clooney and Brad Pitt, DiCaprio always chooses his projects very wisely. His '00s track record is so good it makes you wonder if he has supernatural ways of knowing things others don't.
But when you can add to those two names the likes of Ruffalo, Mortimer, Max von Sydow, Michelle Williams, Patricia Clarkson and the incredible Jackie Earle Haley, you know Shutter Island will be something special. That's not all though - Lord Ben Kingsley has also taken some time out from filming some Godawful recent movies to star as head doctor John Cawley. Finally, the man who was Gandhi has decided to seek the guidance of a worthy director - hopefully we'll see him return to form here.
As for the look of the film itself, the trailer showcases some genuinely creepy moments that hint at this being Scorsese's first full-on horror film. It looks like he's filmed one of David Lynch's nightmares - the shot of mental patient Mortimer, covered in blood, smiling at the screen, will make your skin crawl.
Still, cast that rivals even Christopher Nolan's upcoming Inception and an outlandish trailer aside, will Shutter Island be any good?
Although it is only his first step into the horror movie world, 'World's Mightiest Cinema Buff' Scorsese (sorry Quentin) is a dab hand at any genre. This is the greatest living director, if not the best there's ever been, after all. Plus, early word for the film has been good, with some promising reviews of the picture already surfacing, so watch out for this one when it's released on March 12th.

This valuable opinion takes issue with the main sentence of your blog post and goes on for truly a while helping to make it clear how the commenter just didn't peruse any longer.
