Being only a semi-dark comedy it never goes full "Lord of the Flies" but it does throw enough unexpected change-of-fate plot twists to make you doubt a predictable ending which makes this one of the most enjoyable survival movies I've ever seen. Credit-watches like myself will also enjoy the bonus prologue and epilogue scenes.
While thoroughly entertaining, the 100% Rotten Tomatoes score seems like overkill but it certainly deserves better than the very low 6.2 IMDB rating, the latter of which can be at least partly attributed to the penalty that seems to be applied to every Chinese film for some reason.
