My abiding memory of it is of DiCaprio spending most of the movie lighting matches in dark corridors in a role that should've gone to someone probably twice his age. It has no tension whatsoever and there are long spells where nothing seems to be happening at all.
Either way, every great filmmaker is allowed to make one real dud in their career, and Shutter Island is Scorsese's, the same as Godfather III is Coppola's. Fortunately they've both done enough good stuff for us to just pretend that both films simply never happened.
