'Shutter Island' is a psychological thriller starring Oscar-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio as U.S. Marshal Edward Daniels, who is sent to Shutter Island, an insane asylum that is missing a patient. Mystery surrounds the entire facility and Daniels is determined to find the answers to all the questions that arise, while the rest of the staff attempt to convince him that he is insane. It's difficult to express my opinion on the film without giving away the ending, but I was left very disappointed at the conclusion of the film. Many times, surprise endings can leave you satisfied, yet 'Shutter Island' leaves the audience feeling defeated alongside Edward Daniels. The film also stars Oscar-nominee Mark Ruffalo, Oscar-nominee Michelle Williams, Oscar-nominee Patricia Clarkson, and Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley. The film feels like a second-rate 'Inception', not to be put on the Instant Queue on Netflix. 4 out of 10 stars.
