Shutter Island

A haunting musical score and a dastardly storm set the tone for Martin Scorsese's riveting, well-acted, twist-filled, thought-provoking, star-studded (Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer, Elias Koteas, Jackie Earle Haley, and Ted Levine) psychological thriller in which a war-scarred, widowed, federal marshal (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner (Mark Ruffalo) head to an isolated mental institution for the criminally insane off of Massachusetts in 1954 to interview its staff (Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow, Nellie Sciutto, et al.) about the mysterious disappearance of a patient (Patricia Clarkson) who murdered her children.
