I was pleasantly surprised at how I liked this film.  It was interesting, formulaic (one of the amusing parts of the file is that one character is a film writer that basically lays out the plot for the movie, right at the get-go!).  But don’t worry, there is plenty of action.

Set in the Hawaiian Islands, the scenery is impressive.  Acting was not Academy Award material, but it was not hard to be drawn in.  The characters are affable, and there are some less-than-pleasant individuals that are presented.   But that’s to be expected in a film about a murder mystery.

Having caught it on the tail end of a double feature with Inglorious Bastards, I was happy to have stayed and watched this film.  I liked it more than the first and would have been happy to pay full price for again, some good entertainment.

My recommendation is to go see this for some light film going.  Paying full-price won’t disappoint.
