A good-looking movie shot on a minuscule budget, Kaprice Kea's feature debut attempts to pass through The Beach-style territory, only with a sharper focus on the tourist/locals relationship. It's a smart idea and it could have worked, but the movie's rendered obsolete by a perplexing shift from travelogue to (silly) thriller and Laing's startling lack of charisma. Not so much phoning in his performance as airmailing it over, his ineptitude is harshly exposed by Kea's static direction.
Full marks for effort, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
