From NetFlix:
While visiting a remote island, a couple (Cillian Murphy & Thandie Newton) encounters a man (Jamie Bell)– who apparently washed up there — claiming a lethal virus has spread through Europe. The couple must decide whether to trust the stranger and figure out how to survive.
If you can stand the harsh and raw suspense, this film is dynamite. Not only is the acting superb but the plot keeps twisting. Cillian Murphy was the Timekeeper in In Time (2011). Thandie Newton was Makemba ‘Kem’ Likasu in the TV series “ER”.
Today I read an article in the New York Times bemoaning the fact that none of our new lineup of male film stars seem to last. Jamie Bell (who was “Billy Elliot”) did an excellent job in this film. Let’s hope that his career lasts.
Expect a really rough journey and if you can stand it, DO NOT MISS THIS FILM!
Hmm, my suspension of disbelief was not fully engaged on this one. And the blood and sickness at the end was just too much “overkill”. And what the heck? The survivor gets shot between the eyes at the end?! By whom? Why? It didn’t resolve neatly at all.
