Shutter Island, starring the famous Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, and Michelle Williams, is number one in the box office making $22.7 Million. This success is not surprising for the Director Martin Scorsese who has also directed Gangs of New York, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and The Departed earning himself an Oscar for Best Director.

Shutter Island is about two federal marshals who are sent to a secluded island that hosts a prison for the criminally insane. It takes place in 1854, right in the middle of the Cold War where everybody was suspicious and questioning towards the Government. Teddy Daniels (played by DiCaprio) and his partner Chuck (played by Ruffalo) are appointed there to investigate the disappearance of a women who is said to have escaped the prison. The patient they have to find and capture is a beautiful young mother who drowned her three children. As the investigation deepens, the mystery that consumes Shutter Island continues to be unraveled.

Filled with an enormous amount of twists, this movie keeps you guessing. People in the theatre were literally on the edge of their seat with their mouth and eyes wide open. DiCaprio’s acting was phenomenal and had the audience either in tears or in embellished suspense. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
