Shutter Island (R, 2010)

This is not a Scorsese classic or close. This is still my second favorite film of 2010 so far behind Kick-Ass. While there is some strong violence and language along with some disturbing content and shadowed nudity, this is a mature psychological thriller with riveting tension and an excellent finish with a poignant message about man's endless desire to be thought of as "the good guy".

I read the book when it came out and just recently saw the movie and I have to say it was pretty good! They did a great job adapting the book into a movie. Scorsese did a great directing job. DiCaprio did some of the greatest acting of the year. And they improved the story a little bit more. The story is about two U.S. Marshalls trying to find a murderess who escaped from the mental institution on the island. Step by step, as they uncover different questions about the investigation they learn that there's something bigger happening on Shutter Island... and it might just involve them.

It was a great exciting movie . You would never except the ending. But there are dead children drowned by their mother which is a little disturbing and A man sees a little girl in blood and there is many dead disturbing bodies. There is a lot of killing its a little scary for younger viewers but i loved it. It had a lot of suspense and kept you on the edge of your seat thought the beinging was a little slow

Hello, I thing that this movie isn't scary for kids at all (believe me,I'm scared all the time lol).The kids should watch It,because It's exiting,and they really need to thing about the end. Bye!

It was okay, I think it would be pg-13 if it weren't for the language. I do remember two inappropriate parts, one with this sicko insane patient who was being interviewed and was saying disgusting things, the other was a quick flash of nudity. Although, I closed my eyes really quick and didn't see anything. Other than that, I think what made it R was the language (they say the f word like every few seconds.) But, I give it 3 stars, it was amazingly exciting and intense, but the ending was so confusing and it ended up being a reminder of the Sixth Sense. It was okay.

What to watch out for * Messages: The movie deals with the limits of the human mind and the sheer amount of horror and torment it can take before it snaps. It also examines the extent to which humans are capable of violence and evil. Some characters may or may not have good intentions, but the movie deliberately blurs this behavior in the service of the story. Some conversation about belief in God. * Role models: The hero is not much of a role model. He has twin goals: One of them requires bravery and selflessness and the other, selfish revenge. But whether he achieves either of these goals is up for debate. He also exhibits violent and erratic behavior throughout and does not play well with others. (On the other hand, he does risk his life in one sequence to save his partner.) Other characters do not seem trustworthy or reliable either. * Violence: Quite a few disturbing flashbacks and nightmare sequences, with piles of dead bodies in the Dachau concentration camp, a failed suicide attempt (the victim lays twitching in a puddle of blood), drowned children, a woman's body burning, shooting victims, and more blood. One scene shows the mass slaughter of Nazi guards by American soldiers; their bodies are riddled with bullets as they collapse, one by one, in a line. There are also scary images, such as prisoners grabbing through prison bars at the hero. * Sex: No sex, but in a flashback sequence we see a little kissing between an affectionate married couple. Brief flash of unclothed male prisonors. * Language: The words "f--k" is heard about a dozen times; "s--t" a few times. We also hear "d--k," "p---k," "c--k," "sc-ew that," "da--it," "Jesus Christ," and "Godd--n it." * Consumerism: Not an issue. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Characters smoke cigarettes often, and one character smokes a pipe. The main character once had a drinking problem, but now abstains from liquor. We see him drinking whisky in flashbacks. Other characters drink in a social way. The hospital uses various sedatives and other kinds of drugs on the patients. The hero takes aspirins and there is a suggestion that they might be laced with hallucinogens or other drugs. We see the effects of these drugs through the eyes of the hero.

The most confusing movie ever, it was psycological. I personaly didnt like it but watch it for storyline. that was pretty good.

Let me tell you now that most kids will not understand it as it is very confusing but it is a good film. The worst about it is the disturbing imagery (Note the bodies of three decapitated children) The sexual content is minimum except for very brief full male nudity (people on here should stop being so immature about this) and there is some bloody violence but not excessive. And the final scene is not for the faint hearted.
