When you have an 'off-day', you might accidentally splash coffee on a cute girl on the train or stub your toe kicking a football around. When Martin Scorsese has an 'off-day', it potentially tarnishes careers. You really have to feel for the guy that's a heavy burden.
Such is the case with his latest would-be classic, Shutter Island. The famed director set sail from the wild shores of Boston and put his 'Gangs of New York' and 'The Aviator' cap on, producing something almost completely devoid of his taut directorial trademarks save for his favourite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, who returns to Scorsese's soft lens as Teddy Daniels, U.S. Marshal and bereft husband. Put simply, Scorsese missed the mark on this one.
The titular Shutter Island is an isolated crag of withered land that houses a hospital for rehabilitating the criminally insane a secure facility where the mysterious and all-too-pleasant Dr. Cawley (a graceful Ben Kingsley) oversees the careful therapy of its residents. When one of these patients escapes her confines, DiCaprio's Daniels is sent to investigate.
Mark Ruffalo, who gels nicely with the sombre atmosphere, plays Daniels' partner, Chuck Aule. Whether as a result of poor casting or simply poor performance on DiCaprio's part, Ruffalo immediately appears to be the senior figure of the duo which actually makes for an interesting set-up later in the film. However, we doubt this was intentional. DiCaprio, who stole the show as a hard-edged undercover agent in Scorseses' The Departed, spends most scenes looking deeply uncomfortable. We shared his baffled expression throughout this production.

This adaptation of Dennis Lehane ('Mystic River', 'Gone, Baby, Gone')'s bleak novel starts off with the promise of delicate cinematography (provided by Robert Richardson, who recently worked with Quentin Tarantino on 'Inglourious Basterds' to wonderful effect); a fade-from-white introduces us to the isolated wayfarer investigators before we're toured through the superficially clinical halls of the hospital and the iron and stone surrounds.
It's a striking film from a photography standpoint, to be certain Richardson and Scorsese collaborated in 'Shine a Light' and 'The Aviator' and the richness of his hues and careful scene construction build a terrific, sometimes terrifying, atmosphere.
Even if DiCaprio won't be taking home any awards for this role, he still manages to captivate when he closes his mouth and Scorsese lets his better directorial sense guide the scene instead. In fact, Shutter Island's best moments come from the support cast, rather than the headliners. Small roles from underused actors Elias Koteas ('Zodiac', 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button') and Jackie Earle Haley ('Watchmen') stand out as deranged inmates. Thematically, there's a fair level of commentary going on, too pointing subtle fingers at the handling of prisoners undergoing psychiatric treatment.
But, for every solid sequence a dream amidst flakes of ash gently tumbling down in a burning apartment, or a carefully composed sequence within a Nazi concentration camp - eyebrows are raised at the bafflingly transparent personality shifts and 'my-first-whodunit' red herrings elements that probably worked better in Lehane's novel, we suppose.
