Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio team up for a fourth time for this adaptation of Shutter Island, a novel by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River). The film opens in 1954 as World War II veteran and current federal marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner, Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), ferry to Shutter Island, a water-bound mental hospital housing the criminally insane. They have been asked to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), a patient admitted to the asylum after she murdered her three children. As Teddy quizzes Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley), the head of the institution, he begins to suspect that the authorities in charge might not be giving him the whole truth, and that a terrible fate may befall all the patients in the spooky Ward C -- a unit devoted to the most heinous of the hospital's inmates. Complicating matters further, Teddy has a secret of his own -- the arsonist who murdered his wife is incarcerated on Shutter Island. Driven to confront his wife's killer, and stranded on the island because of a hurricane, Teddy must unravel the secrets of the eerie place before succumbing to his own madness. Max von Sydow, Emily Mortimer, Michelle Williams, Patricia Clarkson, and Jackie Earle Haley round out the supporting cast.

  1. Positive review
    C. Robert Cargill, Film.com A brilliantly constructed mystery. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Simon Miraudo, Quickflix Shutter Island, is even less 'important' than The Departed. But Scorsese is clearly enjoying himself with this old-school throwback to thrillers past. And it's hard not to revel in it with him. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Sukhdev Sandhu, Daily Telegraph Shutter Island could have been an entertainingly hysterical trainwreck, but the train doesn't even leave the station. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] At the end of it, I got a whiff of shaggy dog. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Michael Bonner, Uncut Magazine [UK] Crucially, what Scorsese understands about horror movies is that the right location is everything. Full review External link
  6. Negative review
    Kate Muir, Times [UK] Scorsese is capable of making a fascinating psychological thriller, but this effort is sub-Tarantino, without the irony. Full review External link
