Ilha de Segredos

A pretty good German thriller to watch with pretty good performances, story, character development, writing, and directing. Once more, Netflix can do some good movies every now and then. Recommended.

Tbh I was hooked since the first and I think the casts did good job and the film was shot beautifully. But, there's one scene that happened involving a murder (no spoiler) and the film went downhill afterwards. It's quite amusing actually, but that would easily turned off anyone with two brain cells. Overall, an average thriller that could do much better without that one dumb scene and a better buildup-linking the twist in the beginning.

This is one of those times where the movie is primarily unappealing But like usual i gave it a chance thinking it wouldn't be as bad as i thought, And to my surprise it was worse. Very boring most of the time, acting was bad, especially in the conflict scenes and plenty of Netflix unnecessary sexual scenes. Netflix clearly loves these kind of movies no matter how bad it is, (probably a fetish) There really isn't anything to enjoy from this film.

Schwarze Insel (or Black Island for the English title) is a German crime/drama spiced up with a bit of mystery. You keep guessing for a while but it isn't too difficult to figure it out. Once you figure it out it's getting lesser interesting to follow. It feels also a little bit too much as a teenager movie, with a typical bad soundtrack. The acting is most of the time okay but it could have been better, especially in the strangling scenes that didn't look too convincing. In the end it's a watchable movie, just good enough for a one time viewing. I've seen worse, way worse in this genre so I'm not complaining.

Felt like it was trying to be a quality production,but couldn't bring that across on screen.

It also had a nothing new & clichéd storyline,which didn't help matters.

Average(amateurish)acting & cinematography,not worth seeing.. Again.
