Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane -- on the strength of this film I wouldn't mind checking out some of his other books.

Shutter Island (2010)
Excellent psychological mystery/thriller. Set in a mental asylum on an island off the coast of Boston in the 1950's. Directed by Martin Scorsese, and featuring Leo Di Caprio and Ben Kingsley. Love him or hate him, it's hard to deny that Di Caprio is getting better and better as he ages -- and this performance is no exception. The film has a great atmosphere -- conjures up Hitchcock with a dash of Kubrick (I'm thinking of The Shining).
