"Two U.S. marshals 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."Movie type: Thriller Drama Mystery - This is a dark, twisty, fast-paced but over two-hour thriller for an adult audience. This is a big showcase for star Leonardo DiCaprio, so his fans should be pleased. Violence, language, subject matter, and general creepiness make this a film strictly for adults.

Reviews:
Berardinelli, Internet Critic: „Good Shutter Island is satisfying in ways that February movies often are not. Like all solid thrillers, it engages while challenging the intellect.”
Roger Ebert: “Very Good "Shutter Island" starts working on us with the first musical notes under the Paramount logo's mountain, even before the film starts.”
USA Today: “Above Average From the first queasy scene, you are drawn into and captured by the ominous goings-on at Shutter Island.”
Dallas News: “Very Good In the end, Shutter Island rattles your cage and leaves you fumbling for a firm place to stand. It entangles illusion and perception, sanity and madness as only pure cinema can; you leave the theater a bit jittery and unsettled.”
