Martin Scorsese channels Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2010)

The story is set in 1954, Two federal Marshalls(Leonardo Dicaprio and Mark Ruffalo), are assigned to a case on Shutter Island, where at a mental institution, a patient disappears, without a trace. While there investigating, they discover things are not what they seem, has every twist and turn keeps coming into play, and knowing who to trust and who not to trust, but the main twist of the whole story, is the one that will shock you the most.
Martin Scorsese brings the suspense of Alfred Hitchcock, and weird artiness of Stanley Kubrick, and does it quite brilliantly. Leonardo Dicaprio is quite brilliant here, he really throws himself out there. And the supporting cast are also good, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Max Von Sydow, Emily Mortimer, Jackie Earle Haley, and Patricia Clarkson. This is a thriller you should check out.
