Riveting
The "Globe" reviewer missed the boat on this one. "Shutter Island" is riveting, from the unfolding of the plot to the Hitchcock-like camera angles. The acting is, across the board, terrific. It's a sophisticated psychological thriller that actually assumes we viewers have a brain and don't need to be bombarded with gore or over-the-top acting. I will admit, the music could be toned down a little and I found that it sometimes got in the way.

With “Shutter Island,’’ Martin Scorsese proves susceptible to the chic of filming a Dennis Lehane bestseller.
