This movie is about 2 US marshals, Edward and Chuck, who get sent to Shutter Island, a mental facility for the worst criminally insane patients, to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a female patient. Also Edward is trying to find a patient who supposedly set his house on fire and killed his wife!
Overall, if I could give this movie 4.5 stars I would, but since it's not quite a five star movie I'm going to have to give it a 4 star rating. If your looking for a scary thriller to watch with your partner or by yourself at night, this is definitely your movie!

If you don't see the ending coming, then it's a nice twist. If you do, then I can see that this would be drawn-out.
I didn't. Did think that the explanation of the elaborate ploy was a little unbelieveable, especially since the patient is supposed to be extremely violent.
Some of the flashbacks were overdone and could have shortened (perhaps less graphic).
Still, great acting, settings, cinematography (like the way it looked like it was shot in the 50s) and a nice storyline, if you don't try to work out the end in advance.
Intriguing and suspenseful - Fred H. Jones -
Of course right at the begining we love Leo and he is a fine actor! The story was masterfully crafted and gave no hint of the suprise ending. Well directed - well acted - a great mystery flick.
