"Shutter Island" is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.
Turning up in Shutter Island with anxiety ridden Beantown investigator, is Leonardo DiCaprio as US Marshal Teddy Daniels. Daniels is summoned to Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on desolate, hurricane swept Shutter Island. His task is to figure out how a homicidal woman (Emily Mortimer) who murdered her own children, managed to escape a locked ward and disappear. Accompanied by his more cool headed and laid back partner Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), Daniels embarks on a nerve jangling journey into mass institutional madness possibly including the dubious on site practitioners, and which slowly comes to put his own grip on reality to the test.
This movie adapted from novelist Dennis Lehane's bestseller of the same name, Shutter Island plays out in 1954, immersing the narrative in both real and imagined paranoid inclinations. And touching on the repressive national period tendencies of McCarthyism, and frightening new experimental psychiatric procedures like electric shock and the transorbital lobotomy administered through patient eyeballs. And converging with World War II vet Daniels' own post-traumatic disorder combat nightmares.
As the detective is swept up into a deepening, depraved scenario in which he fears his own imminent incarceration by suspect shrinks (Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow) because he may know too much, Daniels begins to doubt his own sanity. This, while fleeing assorted lost and found psychos, born again Nazis, and Red Scare gulag rehab for unrepentant communists on the loose.Unfortunately, the movie increasingly feels as schizo as the patients. Are you muvee-freak? Do you want to see this movie? ask me...
