THE ISLAND

 Last night, I watched this mindless action film on Prime.

"When his brother is killed, LAPD officer Mark (Michael J. White) leaves the city to return to the island he grew up on. Seeking answers and ultimately vengeance, he soon finds himself in a bloody battle with the corrupt tycoon who's taken over the island paradise."

Michael Jai White was alright in his role of a man out for revenge as he teams up with his ex-wife, and other friends to fight back against this evil tycoon and his team of mercenaries.

The action scenes were pretty good but some parts of the writing was a bit bad, at no point was the island's name mentioned and it was simply called The Island. It turns out after some research on my part, that the film was filmed on location at Saint Kitts and Nevis, which is a British colony, but they made out that the Island is closer to America than anywhere else as in off the coast of Los Angeles.

The acting was fair, even if I did not know any other cast member apart from White. The bad guy was a bit OTT and hammy however.

All in all, a fairly decent evening viewing of a mindless action film that I doubt I will watch again but it entertained me and that's what was important after having a shitty day.

I shall rate this movie a score of 6/10.
