Martin Scorsese films undeniably gather critical attention when they get released and the latest one is no exception. The backdrop of Shutter Island is set in the turbulent times of the 1950s. Stalwart actor Sir Ben Kingsley is also included in its cast. The novel from which this movie has been adapted was composed by Dennis Lehane. The director has altered the ending to an extent.

Like all of his directorial ventures, Martin Scorsese has used his imaginative touch and creativity to good use in this one. The performance by Leonardo DiCaprio is a far cry from his lover boy acts seen in the Titanic days. He brings alive the angry and frustrated detective with his acting skills and superb expressions.
