COMMUNITY RATING




Based on the novel "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane and adapted by Laeta Kalogridis, the atmospheric psychological thriller set in a 1950s asylum for the criminally insane. It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Shutter Island's Ashecliffe Hospital. He'd been gunning for an assignment on the island for reasons of his own -- but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister.
Teddy's code-breaking skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues proliferate, Teddy begins to doubt everything -- his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Not one of his best,but I was not disappointed with Scorsese's latest,Shutter Island--a gripping ,thought-provoking film with many twists and turns that are the key to the movie.
Impeccable line of cast with DiCaprio acting at his best yet as the troubled man portraying Teddy Daniels to perfection! His flashbacks scenes,his dreams/hallucination scenes-especially those with his deceased wife--heartbreaking and believable--that last scene unexpectedly moving--worthwhile seeing!
