About
If you want a lean, high-stress survival thriller with constant pressure and moral dilemmas, this may work for you; Not for you if you can’t tolerate implausible choices, an open-ended feel, or stereotypes—try Son of a Gun instead.
Pros: tense, fast-paced suspense; easy to get into; scenic island setting | Cons: unbelievable plot moments; predictable beats; troubling racial stereotyping
