Brilliant adaption

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2010)

This is a brilliant adaption of Dennis Lehane's novel. The atmosphere, the setting, and claustrophobia are all very well done.
Shutter Island, is set in 1954, where US marshal Teddy Daniels and his partner Chuck Aule, arrive at the Ashclifff mental hospital, to investigate the disappearance of a female patient. Yet, as we quickly discover, nothing on shutter Island is what it seems.
Martin Scorsese, I though peaked with his brilliant 2006 film, The Departed. Sadly I now have been proved wrong. For someone who was never much of a Leonardo fan, his performance is brilliant,
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
The film is very faithful to Denis Lehane's novel. For those who have read it every thing falls into place.
