The Island (2005)
5/10
Where's my left shoe?
15 June 2006
In the Island Ewan McGregor(Shallow Grave) plays Lincoln 6 echo and does a great job like always. Scarlett Johansson (In good company, Home alone 3) plays Lincoln's "friend". There are a lot of jokes throughout this movie that really keep your interest and make the movie pretty good. Steve Buscemi(Fargo) plays McCord which is the heart of the film really, he knows what's going on and tries to make it better through Lincoln.

This movie is a bit long for the story, it was a forty-five minute movie told in over two hours. The action scenes seem forced and most of them are too long. I did hope Michael Clarke Duncan would have a bigger part, but I did enjoy the short time he was on screen. The real comedy comes from Ethan Phillips and Brian Stepanek That play two of Lincoln's friends.

In my opinion this movie is mediocre and it's just a fun movie to watch. Just don't get use to the first forty minutes, cause the plot takes a left turn and your left wondering "What just happened?".
