Remember back when twists in movies were a good thing? It's review time!

Remember how you felt when you found out Bruce Willis had been dead the whole time at the end of The Sixth Sense? good, but try really hard not to think about any other M. Night Shyamalan twists...cause they all sucked.

So let's stick with the 6th Sense one, you felt slightly hurt for being mislead, but mostly it was exhilarating because everything clicked all at once.

I guess that brings us to Shutter Island. I went into the theater with ridiculously high expectations, but I hardly think that's unreasonable, given the legendary director. I was not disappointed, expectations met, and exceeded.

Good news and bad news. First the bad, this is not the movie that the trailer's would lead you to assume it is. So you are going this one blind. But the good news is that it doesn't matter, because it is a pretty awesome trip. (note to reader: I use the word trip purposely because by the end you may assume someone put something acidy in your drink)

The entire movie is one giant twist. As soon as you think you have it all figured out...STOP, cause you are wrong and you'll just look dumb at the end. Make no assumptions. I guess that clears up my "twist" intro.

Although this movie has only one of the things that I previously stated "great cinema should have", the gravity and amount of twists more than make up for the lack of gypsies.

I should charge for these "Go see this MOFO" reviews. Hollywood could retire me.
