About this movie

From the creative mind of Oscar® nominee Steven Knight comes a daringly original, sexy, stylized thriller. Baker Dill (Academy Award® winner Matthew McConaughey) is a fishing boat captain leading tours off a tranquil, tropical enclave called Plymouth Island. His quiet life is shattered, however, when his ex-wife Karen (Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway) tracks him down with a desperate plea for help. She begs Dill to save her – and their young son – from her new, violent husband (Jason Clarke) by taking him out to sea on a fishing excursion, only to throw him to the sharks and leave him for dead. Karen's appearance thrusts Dill back into a life he'd tried to forget, and as he struggles between right and wrong, his world is plunged into a new reality that may not be all that it seems.

I am in shock. I have never seen a more incoherent mess than this. It was filmed well enough and there are some shots I really like. The plot is a huge turd though. What the hell were they thinking? I had to stop every twenty minutes to collect myself because I literally could not believe what I was seeing. Somewhere in here is a movie that would make sense were it not for a plot cobbled together with glue and shoe lace. some scenes were laugh out loud bad. I really just can't logically make heads or tails of it.

Very dark moody type of movie & McConaughey kept me watching but was a movie you could forget about after you finished watching. The whole video game angle between father & son was way off but decent movie if youre bored...or just have a thing for seeing McConaugheys bare bottom ❤

This movie would have been much better without the video game scenario, period. The simple story of a woman remarrying to an abuseful man, and wanting the abuse to stop would have been fine. Just confused me. Then the movie's main star was supposed to have died in battle years before? Just take that out. He simply relocated after his wife left him. And she realizes she made a mistake.
