I love the "lost on an island" concept. I gave this movie a chance based on that idea. What a disappointment! It looks like this is pretty low budget...made for TV. I knew something was fishy by the fact there were no quoted reviews on the case. In this day and age, where there are 50 quotes on every case, this movie had not one positive response to reference. Even ain't it cool news must have given it the thumbs down. I can almost guarantee Pierce Brosnan wishes he never made this. I would say, unless you are showing this to a child in the 5-10yr old range, forget about it (but even then, they have a few scenes of needless violence).
