Dan O...False. This is a one line sum up of the entire movie.

I don't see what was the punishment? So I guess you knew from the beginning how everything would play out? Bull****! Let's see the screenplay you're working on. I bet it's painfully predictable.

Having a movie maintaining mystery until the last couple scenes doesn't qualify it as a good movie... Richard Kelly's, The Box is a perfect example of that. I see the movie as I see Fight Club. Visually, it was very interesting and the movie works off of stringing you out until you're surprised at the very end-- it's not really about anything. I enjoyed watching Shutter Island (despite the few technical mistakes), but by no means should it be considered a great movie. "Sorry, but the late reward hardly justifies all that punishment." -- That accurately describes the structure of the movie.

It was a late reward, but I thought the development of the plot was very interesting. You condemn the "daliesque" scenes, but I felt that there were very well done and in fact provided a true experience. The different movie genres didn't take away from the movie, but instead meshed beautifully and produced something unique. The major twist was a bit predictable, but the last line DiCaprio says adds a whole different twist, which many people didn't catch. I am no movie expert or "Top Critic," but I think this was the best movie I've ever seen

I am not sure that I watched the same film as you did. It is about an exploration of loss, madness and delusion but above all great entertainment.
It also has a few things to say about Psychiatry and power in institutions.

Sorry rick, but critics like you are only good for peeing in other people's cheerios. That's why you aren't asked out for many meals.Probably best you stay at home anywho....

The fact that you look at the film's ending as trying or needing to be a "reward", I think, says wonders about the experiment Scorsese was playing on his audience here- and proves you're just another blind lab rat.

If thrills and suspense feels like "punishment" to you, maybe you shouldn't watch movies from the thriller genre.
