I just got home from seeing The Island.
Official Verdict: Meh.
This was a mediocre action movie at best, with the potential for an interesting storyline, but the screenplay and directing strangles the concept. The incompetence of the director leaves the excellent cast crippled in their performances.
Ultimately this was a disappointing movie, and I am glad I only paid a matinee price.
I would write a more thorough review, but to be honest, this film is not worth the effort.
