Two U.S. military code specialists (Lance Baker, Nick Offerman) stationed in 1940s San Francisco have dysfunctional personal lives.

No matter how bright many of its ideas may be, however, Treasure Island is far from satisfying, as such matters as narrative coherence and dramatic credibility have been treated as annoyances worthy of being ignored.

For all the ideas it tosses around -- and many of them are useful and painful correctives to our rose-colored fantasies -- Treasure Island is too crude a movie to muster much rhetorical clout.

There is a dreamlike logic at work here, but viewers are expected to put the pieces together themselves.
