Every Martin Scorsese film is worth watching, and one we'd like to see get more attention is 2010's
Shutter Island – a dark and brooding neo-noir that's sure to surprise you. Leonardo DiCaprio is really riveting as Teddy Daniels, a U.S. marshal who comes to an isolated psychiatric hospital to investigate a supposedly missing patient. But the case is far more complicated than anyone could initially guess. The hospital has seemingly endless secrets ... and soon, Teddy can't even trust himself. We heartily second Roger Ebert's review of the film, which says, "That's what the movie is about: atmosphere, ominous portents, the erosion of Teddy's confidence and even his identity. It's all done with flawless directorial command."
