Released in 2010,Shutter Island is one of the best psychological thrillers of all time.Directed by Martin Scorsese it stars Leonardo DiCaprio,Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo.It is written by Laeta Kalogridis, based on Dennis Lehane’s 2003 novel of the same name.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as U.S. Marshal Edward “Teddy” Daniels who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island after one of the patients goes missing. Mark Ruffalo plays his partner officer, Ben Kingsley is the facility’s lead psychiatrist, and Michelle Williams is Daniels’ wife. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics.
A movie that keeps you guessing to the end and then — miraculously — makes the guessing pay off.
Incredible use of atmosphere, production design. Excellent performances by DiCaprio, Ruffalo, Kingsley, etc.
The use of deliberate continuity errors to reflect Teddy’s state of mind is a nice little touch. Always noticing new things on rewatch.
This movie is the best if you love psychological thrillers.
Plot Synopsis:
