Shutter Iceland
Very well equipped and impressively photographed “Shutter Iceland”. Everything in it is great: the camera settings, the bombastic background music, the cast . That is surprising and hardly anyone who is after all about the new film Martin Scorsese. But all this is too large in proportion to the relatively thin and, unfortunately, from the middle of the action also fairly predictable story.
The Psycho-trip for “Shutter Iceland”, which is often long-standing themes of the genre, begins an exciting, dynamic and solid thriller staged, but over time it loses momentum and seems too intricate and surreal. All in all, “Shutter Iceland”, a thriller well worth seeing, but no more.
You have the thriller by Dennis Lehane have not read, to know upon arrival on the island that there is something wrong. With thunderous cello announces Director Martin Scorsese to that actor Leonardo DiCaprio soon in trouble is. And the readers. For it will not take long until every question is, who you can trust in this story at all.
In order to clarify the disappearance of a patient, U.S. Marshall Daniels (DiCapri), 1954, is ordered to shutter Iceland: a prison where mentally ill severe criminals are housed and treated. Murderers, who live in their own world. Normal,said one nurse, does not make a particularly large part of our everyday life. Mysteriously escaped the triple child killer Solando Rachel (Emily Mortimer) from that of water, rock and electric fences surrounding the fortress. It is now found to Daniels and his new partner, Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), the fugitive.
But while Daniels under the watchful eyes of the clinic director Cawley (Ben Kingsley) questioned the nurses and inmates of Shutter Iceland, it is clear that the investigators are not free of demons, more than his frequent migraine attacks plague him the pictures during his Time as a soldier in the liberation of Dachau concentration camp hereby engraved with him. Much worse, he feels, however, the memory of his wife (Michelle Williams) who was killed when a pyromaniac named Andrew Laeddis put their house on fire. And that he believes will find Daniels on Shutter Iceland may be.
Inch by inch beyond Scorsese and his excellent ensemble elected to the audience the ground under his feet, until it has no choice but to follow the trail, the screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis interpreted. That this is a red herring, which will lead through a long dark tunnel, is already on the signs. But where should we go along even if there are around you just scrub and precipices? With numerous flashbacks nebulized Scorsese the path to such an extent that one is forced to stand still : packed by these insertions, in memories and dreams, a glimpse into the emotional world of the protagonist is granted.
And yet they do not bring a further step: to be exciting, closely related act falls short by a halt. The darkness of the surroundings perfectly captured prevents though that ever a sense of security comes up – but unfavorably located breathing pauses give the audience an opportunity to get lost on the way the horror and slowly get used to the darkness. And at the end of the corridor to see a rotting wooden door.
