Too predictable

Rating: 5/10 (6 April 2010)

I loved the look of this film, but was aware from the beginning that "our hero" was not what he seemed, when the water made him sick and he just met his "partner" on the ferry out to the island. As it went along I pretty much knew how the story was gonna go, and was proved right.
Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable film even if it's been done before with different details. Maybe I read too many books, and watch old films too much, but I find it surprisingly easy to predict the stories of these " Dolly-wood tries to be clever" films.
Lovely cast and still a great watch, cinematography great, but all the over the top tension building music in the beginning was intensely annoying, even though I understood what they were trying to do.
I'll watch this film every five years or so, worth buying when it's on the eight dollar shelf.
