Shutter Island
Yes, it is excellent! Best movie I have seen this year so far. Plenty of psychological twists. Kept me wondering what is the actual level of reality within the context of the story. I found it kept me interested and curious as the film developed. Also great setting and location shots. A substantially complex and well produced film. I saw it at the cinema and also intend to watch it again when I get a copy of it.

It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, 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 shrewd investigating 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 multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
