Martin Scorsese's latest film, Shutter Island, is absolutely fascinating, at times frustrating, too long by half an hour, has pacing issues - and is worth seeing twice. In fact, it's almost necessary to see it twice. A psychological drama reminiscent of Hitchcock's work, Shutter Island (despite its flaws) not only solidifies the fact Scorsese's a master filmmaker, but showcases the best performance of Leonardo DiCaprio's career.

Buzz had been building for this Scorsese film all last year when it was initially set for an October release. Paramount booted it out of 2009 to 2010, which led to lots of speculation even after the studio offered up an explanation, with Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey saying it was strictly a financial decision. Shutter Island had been on a lot of 2009 Oscar hopeful lists (mine included), and moving it to early 2010 seemed to signal the film wasn't going to live up to expectations.
