Should have been called "The Crazy Island of Annoying People"
This is an interesting concept for a movie: tourists are lured by an unscrupulous entity to a beach where the aging process is greatly sped up. The problem? Many of the characters are generally unpleasant, often played by actors who lack charisma (diversity seemed to be the most important factor in the casting).
The dialogue isn't great either. And the ending is particularly problematic: the representative of this evil corporation performing experiments on humans just stands back, exposed, when he and his team greatly outnumber those who have exposed them. They had no problem sending these Guinea pigs to their death on the beach. So why are they just standing down at the end without a fight?
