Only one new movie out in wide release this weekend but it’s the latest from Martin Scorsese. It was supposed to be out last fall but got delayed until this weekend. Was it worth the wait or did it get dumped? Let’s see what the critics have to say.
Shutter Island
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Plot: Two US Marshals head to the Shutter Island Mental Asylum to investigate the disappearance of one of the criminally insane inmates.
Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 65%
Critic Consensus: “It may not rank with Scorsese’s best work, but Shutter Island‘s gleefully unapologetic genre thrills represent the director at his most unrestrained.”
