Shutter Island Shutter Island is a 2010 American neo-noir psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Laeta Kalogridis. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. I’m reading a book from him. The book’s name is Mystic River, and I love it. I bought this book last week, because I knew it’s written by Dennis, who is the Shutter Island’s writer too. My sister, Anna recommended it to me a few months ago. I think she has very good taste so I watched the film immediately. The film’s star is Leonardo DiCaprio, his name is Teddy Daniels in the movie, who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island because one of the patients goes missing. Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my favorite actors, so if for no other reason, I had to see it because of him, and I was not disappointed. I like Mark Ruffalo too who was Chuck Aule in the movie, I saw him in other films and he was acting really good every time. So I was so excited when I started the movie, because of the actors and the plot. Teddy and his new partner Chuck Aule travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island. They are investigating the disappearance of a patient called Rachel Solando, who was convicted of murder her three children. Their only clue was a code that they found in the missing patient’s room: „The low of 4; who is 67?” During the investigation, Teddy's memories are tormenting him about his wife, Dolores Chanal who was killed in a fire set by arsonist Andrew Laeddis. Teddy and Chuck immerse in the case and they found appalling and shocking things about the past and about themself. Shutter Island is perhaps one of the best, if not the best, movie ever that I have seen during my whole life. The end of the story is completely unpredictable and confusing, but this is true for the whole movie. It is one of the best movies made by director Martin Scorsese, and it is perhaps the best movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Honestly speaking, it is one of the greatest films of the decade. Shutter Island a film that will make you question your own sanity, a film that will leave you breathless. It’s a film I would recommend seeing a second time. In fact, it is even better the second time. All those pieces of that puzzle you didn't catch the first time, you will the second. In my opinion, everyone should watch Shutter Island once, because it’s a brilliant film with amazing actors and a twisted story.
