Plot: A woman and her overbearing boss 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.
This movie was So Good.
Pros: I’m glad this plot was simple to enjoy. Rachel McAdams surprise me. It doesn’t shy away showing the blood. Its also scary, funny, thrilling & cathartic, surprising & gross. How the twists inform me by the end & I like the score and special effects.
This film was so worth starting to coming back to the cinema full. in my opinion.
Cons: Some characters were really generic. The CGI were a bit clunky and I didn’t get what that house was doing there at first.
