Film adaptation of the psychological crime novel by Dennis Lehane, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley. Federal Marshals Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Ruffalo) are sent to Shutter Island, home to a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. There, they must investigate the disappearance of multiple murderer Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), who appears to have simply vanished from the institution. It soon becomes apparent, however, that no one on the island is telling the truth, and as Daniels becomes more embroiled in the sinister goings on, he begins to question everything, even his own sanity...

Most helpful review Shutter Island

Strangely oldfashioned

By a customer from Frodsham , 04 Mar 2010

[Highly rated reviewer]

I saw this in the US recently. It started well but was slow paced. The plot line is ridiculous, which is not necessarily a problem if you can be persuaded to keep your disbelief out of the way. However by the end I felt as though I'd watched a 60s Hammer Horror film, only with rather good camera work.

Brill Film

I really enjoyed this film, it wasn't a horror (thank heavens) but a gripping thriller with a clever twist at the end.

its ok

By a customer , 30 Dec 2012

Worth a watch but predictable not scary at all. You think the film is going to be original and mysterious but pans out like a lot of these types of films

Really Good

By LegendaryJess (32 reviews) , 27 Nov 2012

Great film the twist at the end keeps you guessing and it was very cleverly done, if ur easily confused then u might not get it but a very enjoyable film with Di Caprio at his best
