It’s 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Shutter Island’s Movie Download Free Ashecliffe Hospital. He’d been gunning for an assignment on the island for reasons of his own –Free Online Movie but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister.Action Movie

Teddy’s code-breaking 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 proliferate, Teddy begins to doubt everything — his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.

Based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, Shutter Island continues the collaboration between Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who has become the kind of muse to the second half of Scorsese’s career that Robert De Niro was for the first half.Download Free Wallpaper

DiCaprio isn’t just a star — he’s a smart, resourceful actor intimately in tune with his emotions and capable of nearly anything on screen. In Shutter Island, he plays a man convinced that there’s a plot to drive him crazy — and fearful that it may be working.

The references and homages in the film are multiple, everything from Out of the Past to Shock Corridor and The Snake Pit to Hitchcock’s Spellbound. There are more — and yet this is absolutely Scorsese’s film from start to finish, beginning and ending with blasts of cello and bass that resemble the stentorian tones of a foghorn. It’s as if the score is warning: Careful — it’s easy to get lost in this murky labyrinth of the mind.

DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a U.S. marshal who, with partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), has been sent to Ashecliffe, a mental asylum for the criminally insane located on a forbidding island off the coast of Massachusetts. They’ve been summoned because one of the inmates (”patients,” the persnickety head doctor keeps saying, correcting references to them as prisoners) seems to have escaped.

That head shrink is the punctilious Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley, looking like a bow-tie-wearing goblin), who seems oddly distanced from the situation at hand. Yes, he’s concerned that the patient, Rachel Solando, a woman who drowned her three children, seems to have vanished.

Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio team up as a pair of U.S. Marshals who travel to a secluded island off the coast of Massachusetts to search for an escaped mental patient, uncovering a web of deception along the way as they battle the forces of nature and a prison riot in this Martin Scorsese-helmed period picture. Laeta Kalogridis adapts Dennis Lehane’s novel of the same name, with Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures splitting production and distribution duties. Ben Kingsley co-stars as the head of the institution where the patient resided, while Michelle Williams portrays Leonardo DiCaprio’s deceased wife, whose memory haunts him during the investigation. Max von Sydow, Emily Mortimer, Michelle Williams, Patricia Clarkson, and Jackie Earle Haley round out the supporting cast. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
