...Shutter Island from earlier this year.

Scorcese directs DiCaprio in a film that is about the closest I've seen to the novel it's based on.

I read the book so I knew what to expect.

I thought Scorcese's direction was masterful in that the clues to the twist ending were very subtle.

But a couple of people have told me they saw it coming which is very surprising to me.

Maybe I just don't try hard enough to figure things out.
