Martin Scorcese’s latest 1950s-set mystery thriller is adapted from the best-selling, critically acclaimed 2003 novel of the same name, by Dennis Lehane. Leonardo DiCaprio plays U.S. Marshal, Teddy Daniels, who is to carry out an investigation on the island, involving its hospital for the criminally insane. A dangerous patient, Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), has apparently escaped from her locked cell. However, as Daniels delves deeper into the case, all is not what it seems.
