Part science fiction, part macabre, this film released in January 2023 will keep you wondering “what-the-f” could possibly go wrong next? Alexander Skarsgard plays a struggling writer, James Foster. No problem though because he married into money with wife Em, played by Cleopatra Coleman. So the fact that Foster’s book never really took off is a bit of a non-issue. Still, any recognition he receives for his effort seems to work on him like an aphrodisiac. The couple decides to get away to a tropical island [no one’s ever heard of] where soon they are befriended by [what I refer to as] the “zoom-zoom” gang? [Dallas is full of these, and they’re always trouble, and 24/7]. 🙂 However, in the film it’s a group of well-healed married couples all sporting English accents that just so happen to be frequent visitors of this particular island. Again, beware of the company you keep James is all I can say as these folks aren’t your run-of-the-mill muckety-mucks, turns out they were brought together under one strange happenstance… an eerie island custom!
The film does a excellent job of conveying the message that some roads we choose to go down in life will change us forever [or to “infinity”]. I’m describing a road that never offers that “clean” ticket [back home]. I would give the writers, directors, and producers of this film a solid 3.85 out of 5.0, and I’ll add to that the casting for this story was about perfect, none better really, all-in-all a solid film. Should you choose to give this one a whirl prepare for a real adult film experience as this film contains [disturbing] violence as well as sex. [In other words, not suitable for younger audiences.]
Wow!
