dave s @RT68722908 10/20/2022 Abandoned by her mother decades earlier, Nikki (Natalie Press) arrives on a desolate island off the coast of Scotland with the intent of finding her mother and killing her in an act of revenge. Island establishes a tense and gloomy atmosphere as the result of some effective cinematography that captures the appropriately bleak and barren landscape, as well as some great sound effects (the wind blowing through the tall grass, water lapping against the shore, gulls calling in the distance) that replaces the need, for the most part, of a music score. Unfortunately, the somber mood is often shattered by erratic, quickly cut flashbacks of Nikki's troubled childhood, something that could have been handled more effectively in a prologue or through narrative exposition. Otherwise, it's an impressive film. See more 01/29/2021 The acting is great but the movie needs some serious editing. I know they were going for atmosphere but it just gets tedious watching the same dark water and cloudy skies time and time again. See more 01/26/2014 A very SLOW moving film, and a little bizarre. It didn't get interesting until the 2nd half. Don't want to give away any spoilers, but I will say that this is really a family reunion gone awry. See more 08/03/2013 A story about love and hate, could not be more good!!! See more 08/03/2013 A film that shows the true nature of human beings and what we can do. I loved Colin Morgan's performance, as did leave out the fun character of Merlin and as his character became so different. See more 03/27/2013 That dang Colin Morgan is so great he is just the best actor and if it wasn't for Merlin we might not have known that. He was so funny on the Catherine Tate show but we see his range in Merlin and movies like this. See more Read all reviews
