Welcome to the island, a top secret, off the grid location where the rich and powerful go if they want to disappear (for a while). An unknown force decides to make their wish come true.

Ryan and his team of deeply traumatized soldiers arrive there to extract a client. But they find themselves unprepared for what they will encounter.

The movie reminded me of "Doom". Ryan has this Dwayne Johnson vibe and this other soldier, who may or may not have recovered enough to participate, was like "Reaper". Anyway, there's a lot of tension, suspense and mystery. The acting was okay, the story interesting enough.

My only complaint are the poorly made special effects (lights, lightning, explosions), but there are only very few scenes with such effects to begin with, so it wasn't enough to bring down the mood. You think "they could have spend a bit more money on that", but the next moment you're back in the story and curious about what's going to happen next.

Thus I was quite surprised when I saw the devastating ratings for the movie on Imdb.
