interesting premise but poorly executed (Shutter Island)


too bad...this movie actually has an interesting premise that could have potentially become a much better picture. it's one of those suspense movies with a twist at the end and not a bad one either. But it executed so poorly (mostly due to the bad script), by the time it is revealed, it loses all its impact. if this movie was commercially successful and US producers knew about it, they would rush to make a remake. When I watched Shutter Island, it kind of reminded me of this movie. Two cops investigating a case at a mental institution and things get ugly.
