QUICK TAKE:: Suspense/Thriller: Two federal marshals have been summoned to Shutter Island, the remote site of a mysterious hospital for the criminally insane, where a murderess has escaped her cell.

PLOT:

In 1954, U.S. Marshals Teddy Daniels (LEONARDO DiCAPRIO) and Chuck Aule (MARK RUFFALO) are assigned to investigate the escape of a murderess named Rachel (EMILY MORTIMER) from her cell on Shutter Island, a mysterious hospital for the criminally insane. The facility is run by a cabal of secretive men, including Dr. Cawley (BEN KINGSLEY) and Dr. Naehring (MAX VON SYDOW), who block Teddy and Chuck's investigation seemingly at all turns.

By the time Rachel is found by Deputy Chief Warden McPherson (JOHN CARROLL LYNCH), the marshals have come to suspect that there is a lot more going on at Shutter Island than meets the eye. A hurricane strands them there, with no ability to communicate with the mainland.

Eventually, we come to learn that Teddy volunteered for this assignment. Haunted by visions of his military service in World War II and the loss of his wife (MICHELLE WILLIAMS) two years earlier in an apartment building fire, he suspects that the man who was responsible for the blaze is a patient in the hospital's infamous Ward C. What he finds there, though, is more than he bargained for.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Older teens will likely be drawn to the film for its thriller elements and the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R: For disturbing violent content, language and some nudity.

CAST AS ROLE MODELS:: LEONARDO DiCAPRIO plays a federal marshal haunted by visions of his dead wife and of his Army service during World War II.

CAST, CREW, & TECHNICAL INFO

HOW OTHERS RATED THIS MOVIE

Curious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit?
Then read OUR TAKE of this film.

(Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).

OUR WORD TO PARENTS:

The following is a brief summary of the content found in this suspense-thriller that has been rated R. Profanity consists of at least 16 "f" words, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered. Some sexually related dialogue is also present, as is brief full-frontal nudity.

Violence consists of people being wounded or killed by gunfire, while others are manhandled or threatened with violence. Some of this has fairly bloody results, and those scenes and moments of potential peril will likely be unsettling and/or suspenseful for various viewers. There are some extended World War II flashbacks involving the Allies' liberation of a Nazi concentration camp that shows a myriad of dead bodies (including children), along with starving and malnourished prisoners.

A major part of the plot also has to do with a mother who has drowned her three children. We never see the drownings, but we do see the kids' bodies floating in the water during one flashback and the father pulling them out of the pond. In certain dream sequences, one dead little girl comes back to life to ask why she wasn't saved.

Bad attitudes are present throughout, as is some potentially imitative behavior and various thematic elements. Drinking is present, as is much smoking.

If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.

For those concerned with flashes of light on the screen, there are long sequences during a hurricane-like storm where the frequent lightning causes a strobe light effect. Other sequences are lit by the spinning light of a nearby lighthouse, causing the scenes to go dark, then light at regular intervals. A sequence in a prison ward with the power off features a similar effect with light bulbs flickering and the protagonist lighting matches that go out after a few seconds. Finally, there is a sequence lit by campfire in which the camera rests right above the flames as two people on either side of the fire talk. The flames are always in eye view, and it's quite hard to look at even for people without vision issues.

For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, you will most likely want to avoid this film. The dream sequences can be quite disorienting.

ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE: Dr. Cawley is shown sipping from a glass of brandy or other liquor at his home, along with Dr. Naehring.
Cawley offers Teddy and Chuck a drink. Chuck accepts, asking for "a rye." Teddy reveals that he no longer drinks after having a problem with booze earlier in his life.
Teddy refers to psychiatry as a "boozers' profession."
Teddy has a migraine, and Dr. Cawley gives him two pills that he says are aspirin.

BLOOD/GORE: The very first scene of the movie is a seasick Teddy throwing up into a toilet aboard a ferry.
Teddy sports a band-aid on his forehead that partially hides a small, red wound.
As Teddy and Chuck are escorted to Cawley's office, Teddy spots one female patient with a deep throat slash wound visible, horrific teeth, and severely thinning hair.
Teddy has a flashback to his time in World War II where he and his battalion liberate one of the concentration camps near the end of the war. Dead bodies of Jewish and other prisoners are strewn seemingly everywhere, with Teddy fixating on the bodies of a mother and daughter.
Inside the command center, he finds a twitching, horrifically bleeding Nazi -- presumably the camp commandant. He has an extremely graphic cheek gash that has bloodied more than half of face and head, along with some nearby papers and a large swath of the floor underneath him.
Teddy has a dream in which he is with his dead wife in their old apartment. When he hugs her from behind, a stomach wound is suddenly apparent and it oozes out a significant amount of blood. As their apartment starts to burn, Dolores transforms into burned ash and subsequently disintegrates.
Teddy suffers a migraine attack so strong that it makes him double over and nearly vomit. We hear him gag and heave, but don't see any vomit.
Teddy has a second flashback to the concentration camp. He again sees the corpses of the dead Jews.
In anger, the American soldiers line the Nazi guards up. When one tries to run, one of the soldiers shoots him in the back causing blood to briefly spray. This triggers all of the soldiers to open fire on the unarmed German prisoners in a long tracking shot in which dozens of Nazis are shot up with blood spraying wildly in all directions. A long shot afterwards sees the multitude of dead and nearly dead bodies lying in their own blood.
Teddy chases an inmate through Ward C of Shutter Island, and the camera briefly pans down to a shot of the man's bloody bare feet running.
Teddy finds Laeddis, the man he believes torched the apartment building his wife was in, and the man has a massive gash-like wound across his face held together with what appear to be staples.
One patient is briefly shown painting the walls of his cell with his own blood.
During another dream sequence, Teddy sees a dead mother and her three murdered kids all bloody.
Teddy looks over the edge of a steep, seaside cliff and sees what he believes is a broken corpse on the rocks below.
Teddy torches Dr. Cawley's car. In the explosion, he sees the image of his dead wife and a little girl briefly engulfed in the flames.
A guard is briefly shown waist up and from the back peeing just before Teddy disarms him and knocks him out.
Teddy shoots a main character, with the bullet exiting out the back of the man causing blood to spray on the wall and message board behind him.

DISRESPECTFUL/BAD ATTITUDE: When Dr. Cawley tries to clue Teddy and Chuck in on how even the criminally insane deserve care and treatment to try and bring them some measure of calm, both marshals scoff at his philosophy. Teddy even snarls, "Screw their sense of calm!"
The film contains a number of flashback sequences that show Teddy bearing witness to the horrific treatment the Jews and others suffered at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust. We see women and children lying dead next to each other. We see starving, freezing, emaciated prisoners behind barbed wire. And we see the well-fed, well-clothed guards rounded up and made to answer for their crimes.
Both Teddy and Chuck criticize Dr. Naehring for being German, likening him to a Nazi.
Teddy refers to psychiatry as a "boozers' profession."
The hospital staff assembles to answer Teddy and Chuck's questions, but are openly disrespectful of him and even laugh at some of his inquiries.

A patient tells the story of murdering his landlady, who he claimed liked to be naked, who gave oral sex and yearned for him to expose himself so she could laugh at him.
Drs. Cawley and Naehring do not fully cooperate with Teddy and Chuck's investigation, frustrating the two men.
Partially out of sympathy and partially as an investigative tactic, Teddy briefly tries to make Rachel think that he is her husband to get information from her.
Teddy takes one look at Shutter Island's warden and says he looks like "an ex-military pr*ck."
The warden intimidates Teddy on a drive back to the hospital, asking him at one point if he could defend himself if he were to try and bite his eye out.
