Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, Shutter Island is an atmospheric psychological thriller set in an asylum for the criminally insane. It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Shutter Island's Ashecliffe Hospital. He'd been gunning for an assignment on the island for reasons of his own, 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. 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. Directed by Martin Scorsese and also starring Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Max von Sydow, Emily Mortimer, Jackie Earle Haley, Shutter Island is set to thrill audiences nationwide this Friday, February 19th, 2010.

This looks to be very interesting. Leonardo has to be the best of his generation and again teamed up with Martin is just magic in the making.
