Eden

I disagree with some reviewers that Eden involves exaggerated over-characterisations, or that the male/female divide is hotheads on the one hand and passivity on the other. Nor is the path to aggression abrupt and unrealistic. They start off with food for less than a week and water about the same, so the changes come as quickly as thirst and starvation make their mark. This is a famous and successful soccer team, young American men who by now are cock-sure of themselves and feel a sense of entitlement. It couldn't have been easy to act in this movie, yet the actors do a really magnificent job. I'd give it more points but for anyone whose seen or read Lord of the Flies, well, you know how it plays out. That's not to say that Eden is not a highly engaging thriller and tense drama, and well worth anyone's Saturday afternoon.

It appears to be directed and written by a teenager with excessive testosterone.

Unrealistic. With egocentric, alfha males measuring who has the biggest...

Very, very, very bad.

What a waste of time...

Day 6 all still clean shaven. Day 8 almost fully grown in beards.

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.

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 :)
