We’re very excited to tell you that the film adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s SHUTTER ISLAND opens today!
The LA Times calls it “a new noir classic” and raves that “director Martin Scorsese has created a divinely dark and devious brain tease of a movie in the best noir tradition with its smarter than you’d think cops, their tougher than you’d imagine cases to crack and enough nods to the classic genre for an all-night parlor game.”
USA Today proclaims it “technically masterful, as only a film by visionary director Martin Scorsese can be” and adds, “From the first queasy scene, you are drawn into and captured by the ominous goings-on at Shutter Island.” It says that “DiCaprio’s blend of brooding and unease is riveting” and “the rest of the ensemble is equally terrific.”
The Hollywood Reporter chimes in, saying, “Martin Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ is a remarkable high-wire act, performed without a net and exploiting all the accumulated skills of a consummate artist. It dazzles and provokes.”
Variety calls the movie “expert, screw-turning narrative filmmaking” with a “topnotch cast.”
