Shutter Island B

Shutter Island is one hell of a mind bender where you and the characters never seem to know exactly what's real and what isn't. Sometimes this comes off as a legitimately interesting idea, other times it just feels like the filmmakers are fucking with you. Leonardo DiCaprio reteams with director Martin Scorsese again for this tale of a federal marshall investigating an escaped prisoner at the most imposing looking mental hospital on an island in the boston harbor.

This images in this movie exploit an inherent fear of psychology, and the impression that anyone could be declared crazy and tagged with that label for good.
