Shutter Island

Very good, yet very odd.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, would you expect anything less than a very freaky physiological thriller?? The film is set post second world war and follows a U.S Marshall Teddy Daniels ((Leonardo Dicaprio)) and his partner Chuck ((Mark Ruffalo)) Who go to shutter island, a place for the critically insane, to investigate the disappearance of one of the in mates. It becomes obvious early on that there is something not right with this island as the inmate is said to have "disappeared through the walls" nobody is really talking or helping the investigation along so teddy and chuck decide they are going to leave. Unfortunately a vicious storm occurs, leaving the pair trapped on the island. As the rest of the film contains many twists and turns (including some very freaky and recurring nightmares from ted) I will not go into the plot so much, so as not to spoil it for you. The film has you changing your mind constantly about what is really going on as everything just doesn't seem to add up. I found the end very entertaining and really enjoyed the idea of the film. I do feel however this film will have the marmite affect, and if you are not into to disturbing thrillers, i would probably give it a miss.
