Shutter Island - The Movie

I enjoyed it immensely. The movie goes right along with the book. I knew the ending, but I still enjoyed it. Go see it. It's good entertainment.

One thing I like especially is that there is a clear ending. This is not one of those movies with an ambiguous ending. Everything is explained, and I like that.

The only I would criticize is that the occasional political references---the HUAC, atomic weapons, the Cold War---from 1954 are forced and largely unnecessary. The flashbacks to WW II are good.

I like it when movies stick to the book.
