Customer Reviews

"Lord of the Flies" without the kids...
Great action movie with a 'Lord of the Flies' feel to it. Ray Liotta is fantastic in this movie, and if any movie that he's in were to make you a fan of his, this would be the one! Unusual setting for a prison movie but it works!

Good entertainment!!
Do not be misguided by the opening sequences of this one. The entire film is in fact set on a remote island which serves as a 'prison' so to speak (upon which men sentenced for life, are sent to by a lunatic) and not in the futuristic building we find Liotta at the beginning.

The movie reminds me very much of "Waterworld" in style of sets, costumes and character depiction but also of Golding's "Lord of the Flies" in theme. Liotta's character in my opinion takes to long to identify itself and by the time it does, too much action takes place to be able to diplomatically take sides.

Campbell however, ably blends mystery and suspense with action and a few twists, creating what I can only define as a weird 'Tim Burton-type' achievement.

Enjoy, but take it with a pinch of salt.

It's good entertainment anyway!
