Smoke And Mirrors: Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are 1950s U.S. Marshals who've been sent to investigate the disappearance of a murderer from a hospital for the criminally insane.
Shutter Island
- Director: Martin Scorsese
- Genre: Thriller
- Running Time: 138 minutes
With: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Max von Sydow
When it comes to encasing a soft, pulpy plot in the hard candy of power-drama filmmaking, few fare better than Martin Scorsese. Even when said plot is stuffed with corn, rolled in cliche and harboring a twist visible from deep space, the director's grasp of camera movement and atmosphere still enthralls. That's why Shutter Island is at once a fine movie and a terrible one, entertaining and embarrassing in almost equal measure. It's a pretentious piece of rubbish shaped by craftsmen into a semblance of high art.
