Why do some movies get made? Why did this one? No, really, I'm asking, because I don't for the life of me know why. Production values seem reasonably high - the plane crash, CGI for missing limbs etc. Why didn't they spend a few bucks on the script?! - it is just stupid on top of stupid. E.g. they are marooned on a desert Island with few supplies, needing to conserve strength, yet they run around playing soccer, continuously swim back and forth between two Islands (a mile apart) engage in sexual relations constantly (but zero nudity) - and I could go on, but I will not waste any more of my energy on this turd of a motion picture

Yes, it is a modern day Lord of the flies... It shows how the best of intentions become disastrous for all while the spineless people end up heroes. In that way, it also depicts the irony of how people who are real heroes end up villains in the eyes of the others because of circumstances. I think Andy was the best of the lot but ended up as a person everyone ends up hating in the end, while the others who were not able to take tough decisions took the worst decision by should how inhuman they really can be in the end. Good movie, good story, excellent acting and a must watch for people who enjoy psychological thrillers. I have already watched it twice :)

Started off reasonably well although I think the airplane crash scene could have been longer and more interesting.

Up until the point they find the Japanese soldier all was proceeding well, then it all just went to pot. Lord of the Flies this most definitely isnt!

The illogical actions that no one would do if abandoned on a desert island in the middle of nowhere and the poor story just weakened the whole premise and the ending well....SANDS OF THE KALAHARI - I guess the director had just watched that classic and thought he would throw that ending in lol

Could have been good but like most of the films I am watching over the last few years, they just dont seem to have decent story writers and cannot sustain the pace that a good film needs to keep audiences involved.

Lots of shirtless people parading seminaked in a deserted island. The plot pays homage to Lord of the flies but if they were cockroaches instead. Abercrombie & Fitch could not fit them in their 2015 catalogue so they cast them in this wannabe thriller instead.

The fighting and the beating between the male characters of this film is way out of what someone would expect under a situation of food scarcity. I mean I understand tension arising cause of the sudden and abnormal situation that the group is facing but that goes way out of that. Same goes for all the swimming between the 2 islands which they have more than a mile distance. Swimming a distance like that in an open ocean is a very exhausting activity even for athletes. Same applies for the sexual encounters that happen. Overall a cheap production that is hardly convincing.
