Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley,
Mark Ruffalo, and Michelle Williams
U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his
partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are tasked with investigating the
disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe
Hospital. This criminally insane patient
supposedly disappeared from a locked room.
While Teddy wanted to come to the island for personal reasons, his
investigation leads him to question whether the psychiatrists there engage in
illicit or unethical practices with their patients. Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island is an engrossing psychological thriller that ushers
the legendary filmmaker into uncharted territories for his career thematically. Though out of his element, Scorsese delivers
a refreshing throwback thriller that will make you question reality and leave
you thinking about the movie long after you’re done watching it.
