Film: Shutter IslandInitially, we think we are watching a well-

intentioned U.S. Marshall named Teddy enter an insane asylum hoping to uncover the

whereabouts of a recently-disappeared patient. Later, our strangeness barometer begins to

beep and we recalibrate our assumptions. Now we think we are witnessing a brave and

bereaved soul searching for damning evidence that will expose Shutter Island as an

expensive, cutting-edge torture chamber. Only during the final act (unless you've connected the foreshadowing dots), when our barometer

falls off the charts, do we realize that the narrative is really about tragic psychosis and

elaborate role play.

ballerina for their opening production of "Swan Lake," Nina is his first choice. She

between the two dancers transforms into a twisted friendship, Nina's dark side

begins to emerge.
