Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo
Direction: Martin Scorsese
In 1954,at the Ashecliffe Asylum houses was with the criminally insane on the isolated Shutter Island. US Marshal Ted Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) arrives from Boston to investigate the mysterious disappearance of one of the inmates from the asylum. He hope to unravel the mysterious going-ons, specially when he is followed by a team of hostile doctors, headed by Ben Kingsley.
The US Marshal (Leonardo) is haunted by two memories as the first being his war record where he pass through heaps of bodies before shooting down German guards in cold blood and the second vision involves the murder of his three young kids, followed by the violent death of his wife. The sudden disappearance of his assistant (Mark Ruffalo) further adds to the confusion. The film however does get bored down a bit by its gloomy overtones and its flashbacks which tend to distract. But the hammering climax is more than makes up for these minor flaws.
