Shutter Island


A Federal Marshall, dealing with his own ghosts and demons, investigates the disappearance of a patient from the infamous mental institute.

Well done Scorsese. Typically I find his films to be 45 minutes too long. This one was perfect, time wise. Granted the story itself is totally predictable, it was still really entertaining. There are a few holes, but over all I was pleasantly surprised. It was extremely well cast and the production design is outstanding.

The plot is thought provoking and again perhaps a tad foreseeable but still it was a fun psychological thriller.

*** Must See

Rated R (for language and thematic material)
