Shutter Island

Expertly filmed and acted in every way. Everyone in the cast was great from DiCaprio to the gripping cameos from Jackie Earle Haley and Patrica Clarkson. Apparent allegiance to the source novel is honorable, but causes the movie to drag a little. Certain scenes, up to and including Ben Kingsley finally explaining the far-fetched plot to everybody, could have been shorter. But high-marks for everything -- the music, acting, and design all make for an extremely unalloyed, if slightly lugubrious thriller.
