hyped garbage

Disapointment

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I liked this film. Decent production quality and acting for the budget level. Lake Bell is a natural beauty and a joy to behold every time she is on the screen. The tension is well built and the story progresses at an engaging pace. The action and violence is handled reasonable well if perhaps not entirely expertly. Overall a well done and entertaining effort. *** SPOILERS *** Elements of the plot suggest a distorted moral sensibility or perhaps a screen writer with psychological issues : One of the three female characters is physically engaging one of the men while the group drinks around the camp fire. Touching him flirting with him, overtly verbally expressing her attraction for him while she caresses him in front of the group. This is a man she only met hours earlier. He is reluctant and repeatedly disengages her physical advances. It appears he would prefer to speak to a different woman sitting in front of the fire. The flirtatious woman seems to reach a point of frustration since her advances are not reciprocated so she goes to the woods for a bathroom break shall we say and she lures the man she is interested in to come join her. He does. She kisses him passionately and so he asks if she wants to "have fun". In the context of the scene the invitation is for sex. She agrees. They are lying on the ground, both breathing hard and apparently sex hormones now raging at high levels in both, removing clothing. Suddenly she decides she no longer wants to have sex and she murders the man by crashing a sharp rock into the side of his skull.Now as a viewer it is clear that this woman is emotionally unstable and she has just gone insane and killed a man she doesn't even know. A man she enticed to have sex in the woods. She spuriously and with little warning changed her mind about having sex and kills this poor guy.I believe that the audience is supposed to side with the woman because there was a point in time where she appeared to change her mind. Any judge or prosecutor viewing the exact same footage would clearly convict her of entrapment / murder but the viewer I believe is supposed to see it as an attempted rape.In a sense this one scene, given that it is the pivotal scene of the film, is disastrously misguided. The screen writer should have made it a clear case of attempted rape so that the viewer would side with the woman as a potential victim rather than an obvious criminal psychotic. The women then proceed to murder the other two men and escape to freedom by stealing the dead men's boat. The film was quite good. I enjoyed watching it, but the women in the story were not the valiant women defending themselves against a trio of evil men they were unstable violent criminals plain and simple. I suspect the woman who wrote the screen play, Katie Aselton, sees it differently. This is a sad comment on how women view the world they live in and their place in it, but such is the state of humanity.

The all predictable three unarmed, untrained girls take on, after initiating and starting trouble, 3 trained, armed army vets and naturally are able to beat them. Could of told you that 15 minutes into the movie. I suppose the "tittie" shots are supposed to help the male viewers. What a waste of film and effort. Missed Family Guy for this crap that I finally opted out on before ending. Trash.

It's about the bad boys and the good girls *surprise*. Yes, it's all black and white here. Was hoping to watch something fun about adventurous women, but this rather makes me ashamed of being female. Why is it that in every movie women have to be plain stupid? My advice to you is don't waste your time... move on.

This movie is about 3 girls who were friends growing up, get together and go to an isolated island. You'd think they'd spend time catching up but almost immediately meet up with.....yup, 3 guys. Who turn out to be not so friendly. Quickly it turns into an all out girl vs guy fight for survival. And to get back off island alive. All the characters are poorly developed and seem so dry and unbelievable. The storyline is predictable and slow. Maybe even tedious. It's a shame because the story sounded good and had a decent cover. This movie had great potential that was not realized. It's a shame more time wasn't spent on this movie.
