  A strong & powerful story of love, strength & endurance. Mila Kunis & Gregory Smith are amazing & this movie kept me on the edge of my seat the entire way through.

  "Based on a true story" my ass. It was so dramatized and unrealistic. There's no way that story was at all true. I think the cruelty of the boot camp was possibly true, but it was definitely not based on any true story- it was inspired at best. I think if the director… More
  "Based on a true story" my ass. It was so dramatized and unrealistic. There's no way that story was at all true. I think the cruelty of the boot camp was possibly true, but it was definitely not based on any true story- it was inspired at best. I think if the director wanted to make a true story, he should've just done a documentary about real camps instead of making his own fake one. But anyways....the movie was kind of boring. It was like the same kids getting beat up in every single scene. It was pretty stupid and not entertaining.

  Based on real events. This movie to me was kinda different in a good way. The fact that is based on true events and that it keeps happening around the world is really appalling. Mila Kunis acted pretty well and Peter Stormare did his usual bad guy routine pretty well also. The first 10 minutes or so were a little slow, and I wasn't sure what to think. When the characters got to the camp, though, I was enthralled. This movie just keeps you at the edge of your seat. And no matter how brutal the characters are to each other, you can't bring yourself to look away. Good movie, rent it when you have a chance. This film is the story of a group of unruly teenagers whose parents send them to a rehabilitation boot camp to turn them around. The camp collects each child individually, then delivers them to the boot camp facility on a remote island in Fiji. There are no walls to stop the teenagers from leaving, but escape is impractical due to the surrounding sea. On arriving at the camp, the teenagers are forced to wear cuffs with sensors around their ankles if they attempt to escape, security will be alerted. Dr. Hail (Peter Stormare), who runs the camp, forces the teens to work constantly. He has them clean the camp, grow plants, and has them rebuild the camp after it was damaged in a storm. Campers are required to wear color coded t-shirts. First, new arrivals are given black t-shirts. They progress to yellow and then white. The teens earn a white shirt once they have been "corrected." They do not do work; they become staff members and abuse the other inmates and monitor their work. Among the staff is an ex-Marine recruit. He is very tough towards the inmates and makes deals with girls in exchange for sex. The main teenagers featured are Sophie (Mila Kunis), her boyfriend Ben (Gregory Smith who gets himself sent to the camp to rescue her), Danny (who arrives with Sophie) and Trina, Sophie's bunkmate. As time passes on the island, Sophie rebels more and more against Dr. Hail, and once Ben joins her, the two escape to a nearby island. However, they are recaptured, and Ben is told he will be sent home. One morning, whilst on a run, Logan, the former Army recruit, has the male teenagers go swimming. However, Danny, who can't swim, drowns, and Logan tries to get Ben to help cover it up by threatening him with solitary confinement, but Ben refuses. Meanwhile, Sophie discovers that Logan has raped Trina, and when Logan is put before the camp to admit responsibility for Danny's death, she reveals this to the rest of the teenagers, many of whom also were offered yellow shirts by Logan in exchange for sex. As the teenagers surround Logan, Sophie turns the attention onto Hail, at which point Ben announces to the shocked teenagers that this isn't the first death to occur on a camp run by Dr. Hail. The teenagers run amok, burning down the entire campsite, and then go after Logan, who dies when his jeep crashes into a burning building. At this point they turn their attention solely to Hail, who tries to shoot them in the hope that he can restore order. However, after finding out his gun wasn't loaded, he is thrown into solitary confinement, to be left for the police to arrest. As the film fades out we see images of the teenagers celebrating freedom swimming in the ocean. A message also appears on screen stating that since the 1970's, when these type of camps were introduced in real life, over 40 deaths have occurred.

  Mila Kunis, Gregory Smith, Peter Stormare, Christopher Jacot A group of troubled teens are sent to a rehabilitation program housed in a remote camp on the island of Fiji. What their parents believe is a state-of-the-art deluxe institution in a beautiful natural environment turns out to be a prison-like boot camp where they are abused and brainwashed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I really wasn't expecting much from this movie, thought it was going to be a waste of my time. But it was actually good. Mila Kunis is the lead in this movie along with Gregory Smith, and I thought they were good together. It's said to be based on true events that happened in boot camps of the 70's told in today's time. The whole movie was a surprise, and was something I have never seen before. The abuse that goes on in this movie is alarming considering it is based on true happenings. It's definitely frightening to think that some of these camps still exist. Parents sending away there children because they are out of control without having any contact with them the entire time just blows my mind. What kind of parent is that? There's also a bit of a love story in the mix of all this, and in a sick way it's kind of sweet what Sophie's boyfriend Ben does for her. It's a good movie with good acting. I don't think anyone would have this on their list of movie's to see, but I think it should be. Great watch.

  Pretty average movie about a "tough love" boot camp for troubled teens. Okay concept I guess, but not very exceptional execution. Mila Kunis was still very much a sitcom actress (and still is as far as I'm concerned Black Swan was a fluke.) Peter Sormare is good as the villain but he does seem to be working on autopilot at the same time. Story itself was pretty generic and never really surprised me as to where it was going. I think too much time was spent on the backstory of the kids. Having the film begin on the camp and knowing as little as possible about why the kids are there would have been a lot more impactful I think. Breaking away to flashbacks and such kind of kills what ever momentum was starting to build on the Island. In short I'd say watch Battle Royale instead. That has everything this has and a lot more. Easily passable and quickly forgetable.

  I expected this to be a DVD release equivalent of a Lifetime movie. That really wasn't the case and it wasn't all bad - though it did bring with it the standard predictability. No twists and turns, but if you've got nothing else to do it's a decent way to fill in an hour and a half; with moderate but somewhat respectable suspense, drama and character development.

  Sort of wished I had stuck to my original idea of not being interested...I mean what sick, sadistic bugger would send their kids to a dump like this?......shame its real though...the films watchable enough but totally improbable.

  Ok, you know those episodes of Maury or Sally or some other talk show that would bring troubled teens to boot camps? Well picture what you happen if, say, the OC decided to do an storyline on one of those... Got it? Well then you've basically pictured exactly what this film is.… More
  Ok, you know those episodes of Maury or Sally or some other talk show that would bring troubled teens to boot camps? Well picture what you happen if, say, the OC decided to do an storyline on one of those... Got it? Well then you've basically pictured exactly what this film is. What's worse is the little titles at the beginning and end like to make this film into a message about the gritty "reality" of these camps, but the actually content of the film really doesn't illustrate the message well. Unless you NEED to see Mila Kunis in more dramatic roles, don't see this film.
