DVD Reviews of Survival Island
DVD Review: Great potential but falls short
Summary: 2 Stars
Caught this one night on cable. I guess I should start with, I am a fan of Billy Zane. I think he is a good intense actor and he does not disappoint in this movie. As far as Kelly Brook and Juan Pablo di Pace go, well, this is where the weakness in the movie starts.
The movie is about a wealthy couple, Jack and Jennifer, who are stranded on a deserted island with Manuel their boatman. The story in the beginning is simply about survival on a deserted island. But it then quickly becomes about the struggle between Jack and Manuel with Jack's wife Jennifer being the mediator and eventual prize.
The strong parts of the movie are:
Billy Zane - He plays a good part of a jealous and suspicious husband trying to take charge of a situation in which he has no control.
The scenery: truly beautiful with some great shots underwater.
The Story: Well the first half anyway's.
The bad:
Jennifer and Manuel: You are supposed to like them, connect and root for them but it is impossible. Instead of being the victims they come off as the villains in the movie. This really messing things up.
The second have the movie: This is where they start to make Jack the villain and the other two the victims. It just does not work. Yes Jack is jealous and paranoid but for good reason. His wife is sleeping around. She has turned on him. How can you root for two people who don't care about the third, who with everything they do they hurt him. The movie wants you to root for them but I rooted for Jack the entire movie.
Like I said it had it's good parts but it was to infuriating to watch Jack get treated like dirt and then get blamed for getting mad for me to truly enjoy the movie.
Description of Survival Island
Three arrive, one survives. Wealthy businessman Jack Matson (Billy Zane) and his beautiful wife Jennifer (Kelly Brook) are on a vacation in the Caribbean. Their vacation is cut short, however, when handsome Latin boatman Manuel (Juan Pablo Di Pace) accidentally causes the yacht to sink. Washed ashore a remote island and left for dead, Jack and Jennifer find that they must fend for themselves if they are to survive. But when they find that they are not the only survivors on the island, a primal and erotic tale of survival and jealousy ensues when Manuel appears and develops an attraction to Jennifer. As life becomes more and more competitive--and dangerous--on the island, Jennifer must decide to follow her heart or her instincts if she is to survive.Bestsellers in DVD
