Shutter Island is an adaption of a psychological thriller novel by Denis Lehane published in 2003.Martin Scorsese has his best bet in Leonardo Di Caprio to play the protagonist 'Teddy Daniels'.
He has been his favorite since Gangs of New York to The Aviator to The Departed.
Shutter Island has an eerie millieu right from the outset....
Daniels , a U.S Marshall with his new partner Chuck is entrusted with the job of finding clues to en ravel the disappearance of a criminally insane patient from Ashe cliff hospital on the remote island.
The Island has many deranged patients and the hospital is headed by Dr. Crawley played by Ben Kingsley ( Gandhi Fame ).
The film had me focussed right in , each moment a revelation into the mystery surrounding the screenplay.
Somewhere the sequences between Daniel & his wife got me cringe , but soon it became evident the crux of it all.
The editing is superlative with attention to detail on the creepy Shutter Island. The background score compliments the ghostly tone.
Performances , exemplary by Caprio , he is growing in stature with such skills in acting , he will surely get his hands on the Oscar statue soon.
If you have not read the book ...
Watch Shutter Island for Scorsese & Caprio combo which lights up the celluloid each time every time.
Rating : 4.0/5.0

Shutter Island is an interesting movie which keeps the audience thrilled from starting till the end. The movie is creepy at points and thrilling as well. It keeps the audience completely trapped.
Leonardo has left no stone unturned and has yet again proven himself. He is simply superb.
My take is that this movie can be watched more than once for sure.
