So I saw 'Shutter Island'

Leonardo DiCaprio's eyes can speak volumes. And that's probably why director Martin Scorsese has taken to him, which is just as well considering such clunkers as Blood Diamond (2006) and Body of Lies (2008) he's apt to find himself in when not in the maestro's employ.

In Shutter Island, Scorsese's latest, DiCaprio plays Teddy Daniels, a cop investigating the disappearance of a patient from an insular mental institution for the criminally insane with fellow cop Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo). A comment here, a gesture there can have story-wide implications, and when a storm rages over the island things start to unravel.

After the movie's ended, you'll find yourself tracing back the story. Just don't you work up a headache.

(Running time: 138 minutes)
