So, two things before we get started.
1. Back in college, my movie buddy was CB. We went to film school together back in the day and saw lots and lots of movies together. Turns out, CB now lives very close to me, and for the first time in decades we were taking in a genre movie like it was the mid-90's all over again. (I saw Dead Alive with CB, for example). Shout out to CB!
2. I have Rachel McAdams face blindness. It's a serious condition. Jamie thinks it's a funny game to ask me occasionally who that person is on TV or in an ad or whatever, and I never know who she is. I have no idea why. She's a perfectly lovely woman, but if I was the witness when she committed a crime, she'd get off scot free. Sure, I'll recognize her here, but when she's in her next movie trailer, Jamie will ask me again who that actress is, and I will have no idea.
This is also the third movie I've seen inside of a month that was about getting marooned on an island. January 4th, we watched a Hallmark movie, Lost in Paradise and last week we watched A Game of Death. Love an unintentional theme.
If you've seen the trailer, you know what this movie is about.
