Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Danielle I stumbled on this 2009 movie over the weekend looking for something to watch. I normally would not have chosen a movie that looks like a cheap thriller in the line of The Ruins, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is entertaining and, well, surprising. It stars Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich, as well as Timothy Olyphant, who is one of my celebrity crushes, and the main reason that I watched it at all. It was made by David Twohy, who is best known for Pitch Black and Riddick. Not sure why so many of the users here complain about the ending - it was explained adequately in my opinion, and if it was contrived, that doesn't detract from the general entertainment value of the film. It didn't change my life, but it was a fun 2 hours.

guil fisher Not sure where to start and what exactly is my negative thoughts as there are so many. First THE SCRIPT; was boring and taking too long to get somewhere. It was obvious to me that the writer wanted to mislead you from the beginning. There was a time when I had to fast forward the movie just to keep it moving. Second THE CAST; not too good. I got real tired of looking at Zahn's silly looking face all the time like he just discovered he was doing a serious movie. He annoyed me. His partner (wifey) was a miss match. They definitely did not belong together. I mean chemistry-wise. Then there were the other two couples both just beefcake ad cheesecake actors to keep your interest perhaps. Finally THE MOVIE ITSELF; to this viewer said very little and I felt a waste of my time as I kept fast forwarding to get through it all. Therefore my reaction was a waste of my time and would rather watch the news.

Andreas Vilic I must say that in my 37 years, I haven't seen anything worse and more naive than this movie. Th4e story is unbelievably naive and it doesn't follow up through out the movie. Usually surprises are OK for thriller movies, but this one doesn't make any sense. It is still unbelievable that the movie was rated quite high, with 6,5 this wouldn't be even close to the rating that it deserves. The only thing that is worth seeing is a beautiful Hawaii landscape. The actors did not really give their best, it was more like a third class acting and I hope that people that were responsible for this movie are not in a movie making business any more.

jramza-1 OK. To the point : Pros: 1. Great actors, solid acting. 2. Daylight suspense in beautiful backdrop of Hawaii, without cheap loud noise shocker scenes (the were a few borderline, but most suspense was born by sold acting). Cons: 1. Just one. And it's serious. A great thriller (like Sixth Sense) keeps you perplexed until the shocking revelation, and then you are in awe at your own profound oblivious ability to miss all the cues provided you throughout the entire movie. Not so, here. If you re-watch the movie with the ending known, indeed the dialogue is "possible." But the selection of words is clearly done so as to mislead viewers, in a manner that seems artificially contrived for the sole purpose of having an "aha!" ending. The viewer is never an Omnipresent witness, but is deliberately shown only those events that would naturally mislead them. So instead of an "AHA!" ending, as many expected, they get a "WTH!" ending - which is unfortunate. The writer seems to totally misidentify the payoff for which viewers come to see a thriller movie; It's not in the twist ending that comes from nowhere, but in the revelation that the ending was right in front of you throughout the entire movie, and you missed it's cues.
