    At first, I was skeptical to see if should have rented it at first, but it really provided a good dramatic story. It really shows how one single event can completely change your life forever.

    This really, really surprised me...as I'm not quite fond of Orlando Bloom. However, this film is not just about him...it's about so much more.

    It's strange how such a paradise can become...like such a prison.
    Review...TBC.

    At the beginning I was thinking this film was going to be nothing special; it seemed like a million other mediocre films, but I kept watching, and I'm glad I did.

    The film is predictably packaged as, "Look at this movie with Orlando Bloom in it that no one has seen or heard of", but what makes it special isn;t Bloom.

    It's the story, and some of the other actors. It's the pacing, and the play with time and scenes.

    Great rent or if you can find it to DVR like we did.

    I think is a really good film for people who think that two persons of different economic levels can't be together

    This movie was actually pretty good. I have never been a big fan of Orlando Bloom or Bill Paxton, but I thought they both did a good job in it. Good twist at the end of the movie too

    Odd film that I looked forward to. Unfortunatly it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. Orlando Bloom wasn't great. His character was pretty pathetic and by the end you just wanted to hit him and tell him get a grip. The thing that I didn't like about this film the most would have to be the structure of the whole thing. It was all over the place. Sometimes that can really work with a film but it has to be made clear. It wasn't in this film. Because you were following many different character that were all connected in some way the flashbacks and jumping about in time just ended up confusing and unclear as to what time zone you were watching. The other actors were forgettable. I don't think I would recommend this film because I don't feel that I would have missed out on a whole lot had I never seen it.

    Absolutely and a very first-rate, stylish, sexy thriller with an all-star cast on the idyllic shores of the Cayman Islands and my best one of three scenes on the same time starring Orlando Bloom as Shy. It's a tradition to Crash.

    Kind of a strange story. Not bad, but not what I expected either. But anybody with the last name of Flowers can't make a terrible movie.

    I always like a movie with parallel stories that intertwine with each other. Although it revolves around clichés and stereotypes, it does a good job where editing is concerned.

    The acting and cinematography was great. All the scenes out of order was a bit confusing and I didn't put it all together until the end, which I think was the intention. Over all this was a great younger film that most would enjoy.

    Very good! Hard to follow at first though, but pieces itself together quickly! Orlando Bloom is really great as acting and also as producer.

    I really approve of this terribly sad love story and criminal money laundering subplot, set in the Cayman Islands.
    Paxton, Bloom, and Mackie acted well beyond par, outshining the 'thug poser' scenes byfar.
    I was glad to see 'real-life' issues take root in a film, especially since I'm familiar with off-shore money laundering and tax evasion scenarios.

    I've seen the damage that hard drugs can do to my friends and former girlfriends, so I'm glad the end scene resolutions were positive.

    The tale was beautifully filmed, but heartbreaking. It was my two favorite actors, so I have to admit it grew on.

    What a confusing movie.. just keeps on jumping between the different characters and in the time.. And it is when Orlando gets that acid in his face and ruins his perfect features that you see that he can really act.. I mean really... This is by far his best performance ever.. But the movie has a great storyline and is actually really well done.. but I would have been happier if there had been some closure..

    This would have been better if there would have been a little more closure in the end. A sad story. There's no way I would have ever taken Andrea back.

    Nice ideas but the script is quite confusing. Even the actors could not save this movie. Orlando Bloom still need to improve his acting!

    Some of Orlando's best acting. Even with a scarred face after Hammer threw acid on him I still found him sexy as hell.

    This was a rather odd movie aside from the fact that Orlando Bloom co-produced it. I was hoping that it would be a better movie but it just didn't happen. Orlando's character, Shy, was a really great guy, but bad things happen to him all for him and the girl he loves to be together. I just wished that it could have been a better movie. Even though Orlando is extremely hot, this wasn't his best movie.

    Some of the best movies don't start from beginning to end. This like many other's is just a bunch of pieces being put together just like "Crash" or "The Dead Girl" or "Magnolia"... I could go on. Many stories make up one day that goes on in the Cayman Islands and how life can be messed up. Good one mon!

    I really did find this movie interesting along with where the set was scene in this movie. "Orlando Bloom" was great in this coming of age movie. I love the fact that it showed the cast of characters on the island throughout the whole film and didnt just stay with one set of the characters. I would recommend this movie because the film itself kept me intrigued and had some great action scenes.
