Out patrolling a California highway, police officer Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage) stops a station wagon to return a little girl's lost doll. Moments later, a runaway truck slams into the station wagon, igniting it into a fiery wreck with the mother and child trapped inside. Edward fails to save them before the car explodes...and then spends months of his life choking down pills to get the image of their faces out of his head. But Edward is about to get a second chance.A desperate letter from his former girlfriend, Willow (Kate Beahan), arrives at his home with no postmark. Willow came into his life and left just as unexpectedly years before. But now, her daughter Rowan has gone missing, and Edward is the only person she trusts to help locate her. She asks him to come to her home on a private island - Summersisle - a place with its own traditions where people observe a forgotten way of life. But nothing is what it seems on isolated Summersisle.
This is by far one of the worst movies to come out in 2006. It might be one of the worst movies that I have ever fully sat through in theaters. I was actually annoyed when walking out of the theater after seeing this that I lost two hours of my life that I could never get back. The movie just sort of plodded along in the most boring of ways. Things would happen for no connected reason whatsoever, and the ending was beyond mindblowingly horrid. What in the blue hell would make Nicolas Cage decide to do this movie?
I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Ever. Seriously. All copies of it should be seized and destroyed to save the eyes of society.
