Shutter Island.

I am excited. I love Scorsese, he is one of my favorite directors. Leo has also evolved into a versatile actor and has a lot of potential.

I don't know about this one. I mean Scorsese is easily one of the best directors working today and DiCaprio is a bloody amazing actor. It's just doesn't look that good. Though that's probably because I know the big twist at the end.

It's a step in a different direction for Scorsese. That's why I'm excited to see it. He's proven himself as someone who can tell a story of crime and gangsters. This seems different to me.

Is it based off of a novel or something?

I know that Scorsese can pull it off. He is pretty good with Genre films. Heck, The Departed was basically a damn fine B-movie.

Yeah, it was written by Dennis Lehane, who also wrote Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone. Though you really don't need to have read the novel to guess the ending.

Let me guess, he's the final inmate?

Also, Ben Affleck proved he was a pretty decent director with Gone, Baby, Gone.

Bingo.

That's what so disheartening. It seems like such a gimmicky twist, something that would be in an M. Night Shyamalan film.

Agreed. That film reaffirmed my faith in Affleck.
