Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector David Twohy has been quoted in recent interviews as saying he had to battle with the studio to allow the movie to continue on with an R-rating instead of a PG-13 version.
- GoofsA previous Plot Hole mentions that since Cliff threw away the tape from the digital camera into the sea, Gina could not have seen the photos on it. When Gina first looks at the camera, it clearly shows her pushing in the SD card all the way, which revealed the photos on the SD card to her. Cliff even says in an earlier scene that he should read the camera's manual, so it's clear he did not know it also had an SD card in it.
- Alternate versionsThe Director's Cut available on the Blu Ray release contains an additional 10 minutes of footage.

Featured review
Good thriller. Keeps you guessing.
This is a good movie. However, it will probably not get a fair shot by most. The reason is the way the story is structured in which apparently nothing happens in the first 45 minutes. For today's average 18-34 audience this is almost intolerable as they are now conditioned to expect cheap CGI thrills and impossibly huge explosions in the first two minutes of the film (not necessarily a bad thing BTW). What underrated Director/Writer David Towhy is doing is actually putting your brain to work during the first two acts of the movie, all the while enjoying some incredible visuals of the Hawaiian tropical rain forest. Towhy concentrates on subtle character development. The acting is good. Mila Jovovich and Timothy Oliphant are the two that carry the film throughout. All in all I have to say that Towhy put out a fairly plausible story here with none of the CGI generated hyperbole that we see so much of nowadays.
