Two and a Half Stars of Review! **1/2

If Shutter Island feels far more pedestrian than it should perhaps it's because you just expect more from director Martin Scorsese. Obvious CGI backgrounds, blatant and silly visual red herrings, and an ending that I literally guessed in less than five minutes didn't help either. To be perfectly honest I didn't get engaged in the plot till the last 30 minutes where DiCaprio blows it out of the water with one heck of a performance.
