Full Plot Details

In 1954, up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he thinks he's been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Movie Reviews

Charlotte Observer - 10/10 by Lawrence ToppmanWhen was the last time you had to wait until the final sentence of a film to understand all the details? When was the last time you went to a genre movie – or what looked like one in spooky trailers – and realized the director had fulfilled that promise and meditated on his favorite topic? Shutter Island does just that.
NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Prairie MillerA basically just kidding Boston offshore yarn featuring fleeing assorted lost and found psychos, born again Nazis, and Red Scare gulag rehab for unrepentant communists on the loose that, well, doesn't amount to a hill of baked beans.
Daily Mail (UK) - 10/10 by Christopher TookeyIt's a wonderfully inventive, visceral horror film, one of Scorsese's most enjoyable pictures.
CultureCatch - 10/10 by Brandon JudellAn empty-headed, grotesquely dissatisfying cinematic journey.
BDK Reviews - 10/10 by Kevin McCarthyFrom every note of music to every frame of film and each performance, this picture brings a terrifying tale to screen that will stick in your mind for days.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Erik ChildressAn incidental nod of surrender and a devastating final line should haunt you on your way out of the film and as painful as it might be, you will want to go back to Shutter Island as soon as possible just to clear your head.
Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn JohansonIf what I think is happening here, is happening here, it better not be...
Cinema em Cena - 10/10 by Pablo VillaçaIlha do Medo é O Iluminado de Martin Scorsese.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Scott TobiasThere’s a purpose to all this madness--though to talk about the primary reason the film succeeds would be giving the game away--but it should be appreciated first as a vivid, waking nightmare.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Betsy SharkeyMartin Scorsese has created a divinely dark and devious brain tease of a movie in the best noir tradition with its smarter than you'd think cops, their tougher than you'd imagine cases to crack and enough nods to the classic genre for an all-night parlor game.
