Shutter Island is a fantastic collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese. The film is visually intriguing, and simplistic. The movie also did extremely well at the box office.
Speaking about the plot, we see a brilliant murderer's improbable escape bringing US Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner (Mark Ruffalo) to Ashecliffe Hospital, a castle-like insane asylum located on a remote, windswept island. The woman appears to have disappeared from a locked room, and there are hints of gruesome acts taking place within the walls of the hospital. As the investigation unfolds, Teddy realizes that if he hopes to make it off the island alive, he must face his own darkest fears.

In the early 1990s, while still in his 20s, Belfort founded his firm, Stratton Oakmont. With his trusted lieutenants and a merry band of brokers, Belfort made a huge fortune defrauding millions of wealthy investors. However, when Belfort and his friends engage in a hedonistic binge of sex, drugs, and thrills, the SEC and FBI become involved in his over-the-top empire.
