Shutter Island (Dir: Martin Scorsese, released March 12, 2010) is a psychological thriller staring Leonardo DiCaprio (Teddy Daniels), Mark Ruffalo (Chuck Aule) and Ben Kingsley (Dr. Cawley). It has a soundtrack so great, it vibrates the room you're in, (so you know this film's going to be great). The plot centers around Teddy Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule as US wardens who have been sent to investigate the disappearance of a mental patient on an island dedicated to aiding the criminally insane. Nothing goes well for our hero Teddy as he constantly suffers from migraines and dreams. They consist of him liberating a death camp with a little girl who keeps repeating, "You should have been there to save us". And to keep the nightmare train going, Teddy becomes apart of a conspiracy that believes that the patients of the island use to be the doctors/nurses and Teddy cannot leave the island because of a storm. So if you're a fan of creepy mind games, then you'll love this film. But don't forget, this film's all lies, you've got to decide who's telling the truth.
