Shutter Island
Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese once again teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio in this spine-chilling thriller that critics say "sizzles with so much suspense that it's hot to touch." When U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) arrives at the asylum for the criminally insane on Shutter Island, what starts as a routine investigation quickly takes a sinister turn. As the investigation unfolds and Teddy uncovers more shocking and terrifying truths about the island, he learns there are some places that never let you go.

We got through this but found it disjointed & contrived. Leonardo diCaprio doesn't really have much to offer as an actor unless he is playing himself or someone just like himself. The plot is so much like other stories that it just feels like a rerun. I hadn't read the book but I have read many like it and didn't really need to spend an evening wading through this story. I have worked in a mental hospital too & this was just rediculous, Hollywood version of what was a grime place to be in the not too distant past.not like the others - JimmyMontreal
Why everyone thinks this is an awesome film is beyond me.
The acting is poor.
The plot is very poor.
The hint of a plot twist is so transparent that I was waiting for the "real shoe to drop" and it never ever did.
People, this is no sixth-sense. Watch it before bed and you'll have a good night's rest.brilliant! - crabbydude
One of the better movies in recent memory. Di Caprio continues to evolve as a screen presence and the writing and story line are very well done. The cinematography is excellent, supporting roles very well done, and one of the best twists to hit the screen in a long while make this a must see!
