Well ladies and gentlemen, this is a movie I was intrigued in wanting to see although, I was also weary in wanting to see this movie because you can never get what you want, especially when it comes to movies these days. Moreover, I had one of those days where I decided to take a leap of faith and go to the movie theaters and finally watch the movie, and as luck would have it, I made it one time for the movie considering there was a ton of trailers playing, moreover the movie didn't start till 4:30 PM! Yeah, this shows that all the promos and trailers are getting a little on the overrated side in my opinion.
A woman (Rachel McAdams) and her overbearing boss (Dylan O'Brien) become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.
I remember when watching the trailer for the first time, I felt that this was something new and different but more importantly it dives into the narcissistic bosses or co-worker's that are selfish, failed up-wards, anyway just deep down horrible human beings in a work environment just treating co-workers like Rachel McAdams as if their looking down on them, or soft people that can be bullied for a living and through the course of the movie she finally breaks free and brings that character of O'Brien down to the point of what it feels like to be helpless and having to deal with somebody's bullsh*t and that's what excited me about this movie, because through my years I've always had to deal with narcissistic a-holes who for some reasons where able to succeed in life without having to do anything or in their own mind can be horrible people moreover treat people like sh*t and this was something I would finally enjoy and see the horrible person be breaking down into a person who has to swallow sh*t for the first time without having to ever do that for which really that was something that excited me. But, then when you watch the movie and some of these twists and turns that make you feel a bit of mixed emotions, then I began to have a problem, and look if your planning to watch this movie you should probably discontinue this review because I'm only going to spoil one, maybe two things that happened in the movie, the first being that Rachel McAdams has always been psychotic and she needed to a reason to be a savage for which this a battle of two horrible people who begin to clash at who is the superior person on the island, which I guess would be fine? Although why would you have the first act of the movie where she's a innocent person you'd feel for but through the course of the movie you lose the remorse that her, moreover should have the same resemblance of like the movie The Menu where the girl who isn't supposed to be here you feel for that person because she's surrounded in a island with terrible people, and that's what this movie should be, but then again it isn't. The other thing is that the main twist is that there's been a huge beach house the whole time and Rachel has kept it a secret the whole time which I'm don't know because sure she's pretty through the course of the movie but she's a huge fan of Survivor and travel's a lot probably watched a lot of Discovery shows so, she could at least found ways to take a shower on the island or something and yet there's a huge mansion on the island for which I don't know, hell there's a million things they could of done with this movie but what they did do, didn't work for me personally. Now, having watched this movie in the theater I have to say that this movie wasn't worth 22 dollars plus the large soda and popcorn, and now having talked about this movie this for sure is going to be a once over type of a film where I don't need to re-watch this movie ever again. So, if you’re looking for a movie to start off 2026 or want to take your girlfriend, boyfriend, hell even husband and wife movie night for Valentine's Day, then go nut's if you share a different opinion than I had about the film. Or you can always wait till this movie is available to stream on your local streaming service, that way you don't have to waste your time watching lame promos and so many movie trailers that you're probably not going to watch this year.
