Shutter Island can help advanced learners become more confident with fast and natural English. At an average of around 81 words per minute, the dialogue is generally manageable, though some exchanges require more attention. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. Following the story requires attention, so language difficulty is not the only challenge here. It should work best near C1/C2, especially for learners prepared to handle a more complex story.
