After their plane crashes off the coast of a deserted Pacific island, the surviving members of an American soccer team find themselves in the most dire of circumstances with limited resources, dwindling food supply and no rescue coming any time soon. Team spirit evaporates as disagreements cause the group to separate into factions - a violent one lead by an unbalanced ruler (Peck), and a compassionate one led by a selfless player (Parker). Written by Voltage Pictures
This is not a bad movie. It keeps you entertained and it is not boring, except for some scenes at the beginning in the plane. And even though from those very first scenes you can guess that the plane will crash and that those beautiful girls are there in order to make some rivalry and tensions later on among many guys, it does not make you say: I knew it exactly. It is what you thought, but it has some slight changes.
What is the best thing about the movie? I guess a lot of shirtless, hot and beautiful men. And add two beautiful girls, of which one is some kind of a football groupie...
As for acting. I guess the acting of everyone was good. Not excellent but good.
The things I did not like: The crush scenes were done laughably! They could cut them altogether! They counted 15 survivors, but just the moments before it, in the plane, there were maybe 20 people. So, only 5 died?! After 8 days they all pretty much look good and did not lost a kilo! And they have run out of food some days before? Also, after days without food or much water, they still can swim miles?! And run on the islands? And the 'best' thing: the last fight scene - they are fighting in the dark, it was supposed to be evening or midnight and out of the blue a helicopter and it is dawning!!!??? And not to mention that the survivor ( alpha male) hides from the rescue?! OK, I know that they made it look like justice is done, but...
All in all, besides these faults, I give it a seven.
