Shutter Island is a faithful, detailed movie not set in 1954, but of 1954. Scorsese is fully flexing his cinephilic chops.
Whereas the original, Nathalie…, is virtually devoid of any tension and anticipation, Chloe is a Hitchcock thriller for the 21st century.
If you haven’t quite got the message from Hollywood yet, folks, it’s this: Wake up and smell the diner coffee now, or post-apocalyptic doom awaits us all.
The Edge of Darkness is Mel’s first film in seven years, they announce like they’re not ashamed, and they’ve brought him out of cryonic storage to punch and pistol-whip sissies in the name of family values.

Ritchie has become known for his slightly off-beat films (when not helming catastrophic vanity projects), but there are few hints of anything outside of mainstream filmmaking in Sherlock Holmes.
