HavenDillane's
supporting role as Mr. Allen is rather small and thoroughly despicable,
but this is another one of those roles that make you wonder why he
chose it unless he's trying to drive his price down.
It
starts out pretty good. Bill Paxton plays American Kapitolist Pig Carl
Ridley, a shady businessman fleeing Miami with a teenage daughter and a
million dollars saran-wrapped around his torso. Destination: the Cayman
Islands, where Dillane, his British Kapitolist broker lives with
his wife and gay teenage son.
From
there, it veers off (or maybe jumps backwards) into Orlando's story, an
island boy who had witnessed his father's murder at a young age. What
this has to do with anything, I couldn't say. Most of the other white
kids are spoiled druggies and the natives are mostly gangstas. A lot of
time is wasted on the kids drinking, partying, and doing drugs, as if
this is unique to the Caymans.
If
the message is that lack of direction in the kids could be blamed on
King George III for inadvertently making it a tax haven for dirty
money, it was so poorly executed that either I didn't know what was
going on, or didn't care.
