Shutter Island stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a U.S. Marshal investigating a missing patient at a mental hospital for the criminally insane. During the investigation he has to come to grips with a past trauma that threatens to tear him apart. Sounds like an exciting thriller, right?

For the most part it is. The story twists and turns, characters say strange and interesting things with only their eyes and the atmosphere drips with secrets and menace. There are some sequences that are disturbing in a very subtle way. You will be thinking about the themes of this movie long after it is over. This can be credited directly to the director, Martin Scorsese. Who’s that, you ask?

Martin Scorsese is a genius director who has blessed us with some of the greatest movies presented on the silver screen. I am in awe of this man and the movies he creates. He is untouchable in my eyes and any dissenting opinion will be met with crushing blows from my powdered wig collection.

The clues flutter around you like butterfly wings as you try to piece together what is wrong at this hospital. Scorsese gives you just enough info to keep the truth just out of reach and the climax, while subdued, is still satisfying. After you watch this film you may want to watch it again. You’ll understand why – trust me.

3 stars.

PS If you read the book you will be missing some motivation for the characters and some back story that, in my opinion, would have made a better film.

PPS I find myself staring at my wig collection with increasing wariness.
