Critics Consensus

The plot's gratuitously nonlinear structure only ends up confusing viewers of this island thriller.

The audience just has to work a little too hard to see through the bad editing to the Haven that lies beneath, no matter how interesting and promising that movie may be. Go to Full Review

Lacking purpose or thoughtful complexity, Flowers' film is an overly ambitious mess. Go to Full Review
Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 09/23/2006
The presence in the ensemble of Orlando Bloom, who also serves as a producer, could be an initial enticement, but his performance is one of the weakest in a mixed bag. Go to Full Review

What the film lacks in dramatic depth it makes up for in its visuals, which keep viewer attention even when the story drags. Go to Full Review

Flowers' manic style...leaves little room to consider what is actually going on beyond all the eye candy and sensory numbing. Go to Full Review

Laurie S @Karlwinters Aug 13 Basically it's a film about vermin creatures on a Caribbean island. To me not at all interesting.. See more Victor O Aug 11 A moment of inspiration has led me to look into Sarah Carter’s filmography, and this movie caught my attention. But it wasn’t just Sarah Carter, but it was over a dozen grade-A actors and actresses with a stylized view that was both beautiful but also deeply intense and I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of story this was going to be with its title. Still, a great cast is a great cast. Cayman Islands. Two major stories happen that intersect on the island paradise known for being a Tax Haven of the British Empire and the civilized world. An American businessman has just been busted by federal authorities as he runs off with his daughter and all the money he can gather to ensure they live a comfortable life in the Cayman Islands. However, the daughter ends up being caught up by a charming criminal as she gets caught up worrying her dad. While many years ago a young shy boy who saw his father die ends up living a poor yet comfortable life when he suddenly falls in love with the daughter of a wealthy, upright man with a son that is eager to protect the honor of the family, going as far as mutilating him to the point of eternal shame. Both businessman and shy boy intertwine in a night of violence and betrayal that leaves some people better others worse off. Not bad at all. I have to say now that Bill Paxton is dead, every movie he has made now feels like a treasure that you appreciate more than ever. But the living are phenomenal as well, as grade-A performers from Orlando Bloom, Zoe Saldana, Bobby Cannavale, Stephen Dillane, Anthony Mackie, and others complement this film wonderfully. Sadly, the moral of the story is that you do whatever to do what is right but some of it is committed by such terrible deeds that you wonder who truly is good and bad. But it’s an interesting story. See more 06/24/2020 One of my all time favorite movies. i don't know why the critics gave it bad reviews but i loved it. the acting and the stories where very interesting. See more 05/04/2020 One of my favorite movies with the perfect melange of love, drugs, partying, and money laundering. See more 02/10/2016 That was frustrating. I stuck through the undergraduate non-linear melange hoping for a clever tie-up ending. Wasn't given one. See more 02/06/2016 Sleeper...good movie. Don't let the critics ratings fool you.
