A disturbing film from the beginning, impeccable script and notable interpretation, although it is oversimplified with obvious and reiterative themes from classical, psychological and shocking thriller.
Martin Scorses, the director, returns to the scene with a pure fiction film: Shutter Island. It is his first approximation to the terror thriller. The result is a perfect proposal of the most recommendable and impeccable cinema based on the novel of the same name written by Dennis Lehane.

In a summer of the 50s, the Federal Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo Di Caprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) were sent to Ashecliffe, a psychiatric and isolated hospital in a remote island of Boston Harbor. The cause of their investigation is a mysterious disappearance of one of the patient (Emily Mortimer), who has just vanished into thin air.
The film is threatening from the first second of its length of more than two hours. It is a claustrophobic descent from hell, where the audience’s mind is immersed in a dark, controversial and cold world. The solution to the main mystery of the story is reached after fitting all the pieces as fearful and hazardous as each other.

The mind of the problematic Teddy Daniels is still full of ghosts of World War II, which appear constantly in his mind and his murdered wife (Michelle Williams), who only appears in the most surrealistic high points of the film. The paranoia will gradually take possession of the investigation, being the main obstacle between the development of the research and the protagonist. It is something expected from the first hour of the film. The events will be revealed easily to the spectator.
From the crime thriller of the 60s to the nightmare of the psychotic literature. Shutter Island offers to the spectator a progressive and diffuse division between reality and fiction, the obvious things and the intuited one. The reality involves a dangerous and provocative evolution of the main character, whereas the fiction is based on phantasmagorical appearances from the past. The central point is the horrifying practice of the psychiatry of the mid-twentieth century, the dreadful things, the traumas from the war and the conspiratorial paranoia of the Cold War.

Leonardo Di Caprio develops a perfect and emotional role that leads us through this complex film. Scorsese bases Shutter Island on the fragility of the human mind with the intention of disturbing the vision of the audience.
When the film finishes, the sensation of restlessness continues.
