Invasion, directed by Bobby Boermans and penned by Philip Delmaar, Errol Nayci and Lucas de Waard, thrusts viewers into a jarring collision of sunlit calm and sudden violence. The Caribbean islands of Curaçao and Aruba become battlegrounds when Veragua’s warship opens fire on resort beaches, scattering vacationers and igniting a rapid military response. Within moments, the film sweeps from bombarded coastline to a Dutch battleship charged with rescue operations.
