Shutter Island


                   Leonard DiCaprio plays an U.S. Marshall who with his partner is investigating a disappearance of a patient at a metal hospital for the criminally insane on an island call Shutter Island in the 1950's. Leonardo's character notices that strange things are happening. Well, strange for a mental hospital anyway. He has been having strange dreams and strong migraines. Something is going on.... Leonardo's character served in WWII and believes that the hospital is doing  the same as the Nazis did.  That is, playing with people's brains, literally.  Strange things are happening... unexplained things. Leonardo's character is seeing his own dead wife.

When looking for an answer for well, everything, he losses his partner. Every one around Leonardo says that he never had a partner. He goes looking for him but finds something different...something he didn't expect. What was at first a regular missing persons case has become something much more surreal.

        An interesting thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. Leonardo is excellent. He always is. It's a lot like Inception. There are clues in the movie where you can figure out what is happening before they reveal the truth. A lot of people said that they didn't like this movie, but personally I think its pretty good. Not as scary as I hoped, but still good.



                                          I give it a 4 out of 5.****
