Last night I took the time out to finally watch Shutter Island, the latest flick from director Martin Scorsese and boy was it great.
Shutter island is a drama set in 1954, and based around a character named Teddy Daniels (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), who is a U.S. Marshal. He is sent to the remote Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from the hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the island.
During the investigation on the island, Teddy is unable to access the records of employees and patients and begins to feel that his investigation is being obstructed by the management at the Federal facility. A huge storm hits the island and Teddy along with his partner Chuck, find that they are stranded on the island with no real way off it. Realising this, Teddy begins to further interview the internees and follows a lead to the mysterious lighthouse on the edge of the island, where the truth about Shutter Island is ultimately revealed.
Overall, the movie is great and keeps you on the edge whilst constantly thinking. Definitely recommend watching it. Check out the trailer →
