After their plane crashes off the coast of a deserted Pacific island, the surviving members of an American soccer team find themselves in the most dire of circumstances with limited resources, dwindling food supply and no rescue coming any time soon. Team spirit evaporates as disagreements cause the group to separate into factions - a violent one lead by an unbalanced ruler, and a compassionate one led by a selfless player.

Plot loses its way. Underdeveloped. Two male leads do a good job with a less than compelling script. (I only watched this because I thought it was the movie with the same name from 2013 starring Beau Bridges but I was wrong!)
This movie was worse than worse. It was so terrible that my brother and I were sitting laughing/crying over how painfully bad it was.The plot was absolute NONSENSE!! It made NO sense whatsoever! I can't even count all the plot holes. The characters were odd and you didn't really get an introduction to them and therefor had no emotional connection to them. Frankly, I didn't even care if some of them died. The worst thing about the movie was that the characters didn't have any good motives for their actions - they just did crazy sh*t for NO REASON! And I know that they were stranded on an island and under a lot of stress, but it made NO SENSE.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I repeat, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!
Scenario is problem. People's reactions after the crash are not natural. They choose the leader after only a day or two, divided into clans and fighting for power. Such behavior is not close to sportsmen and they should be socially responsible. There are not activities on signaling rescuers or similar things. No exploration of the island. There is no explanation for traps and explosion (motives taken from the Lost) The focus is on human nature, behavior, and domination, but too early and exaggerate.
This is not a bad movie. It keeps you entertained and it is not boring, except for some scenes at the beginning in the plane. And even though from those very first scenes you can guess that the plane will crash and that those beautiful girls are there in order to make some rivalry and tensions later on among many guys, it does not make you say: I knew it exactly. It is what you thought, but it has some slight changes.What is the best thing about the movie? I guess a lot of shirtless, hot and beautiful men. And add two beautiful girls, of which one is some kind of a football groupie... As for acting. I guess the acting of everyone was good. Not excellent but good.The things I did not like: The crush scenes were done laughably! They could cut them altogether! They counted 15 survivors, but just the moments before it, in the plane, there were maybe 20 people. So, only 5 died?! After 8 days they all pretty much look good and did not lost a kilo! And they have run out of food some days before? Also, after days without food or much water, they still can swim miles?! And run on the islands? And the 'best' thing: the last fight scene - they are fighting in the dark, it was supposed to be evening or midnight and out of the blue a helicopter and it is dawning!!!??? And not to mention that the survivor ( alpha male) hides from the rescue?! OK, I know that they made it look like justice is done, but... All in all, besides these faults, I give it a seven.
