Return to Paradise (1998) (Ws)
: I'll admit, i rented this movie because i think vince vaughn is really hot. but i was totally caught off guard. it was a great story, with characters you get involved with. The acting by everyone involved was terrific. It was so intense i had a stomache ache through the last half of the movie, and i was actually talking outloud to the characters towards the end. Anyone who thinks movie making is going down the tubes (TITANIC...)see this movie. it will restore your hope.
This was a great movie for those who are looking for adventure, friendship, action, and love in a movie. I thought the acting was great. The movie really makes you think of what you would do if you were in that situation. If you like Vince, you will love this! The music is beautiful as well! It is just one of those films that stays with you for a while.
I have to give this movie 5 stars because I'm abig Anne hatche fan. she seemes to grow better as an actress with each role.I don't think she gets the respect she deserves.Vince vaughn was also great as the man Hatche falls in love with.The movie was great but not award winning.
I might add this is a must see for anyone wanting to view compelling issues which demand intense decision making...this is one of those movies.. just when life seems to be finally giving you your days in the sun...WHAM...would you serve time in a third world prison, to save the life of a friend? Would ya? This movie makes the viewer think about moral character; when we are called to act on it, do we make the right decisions..or are we apathetic about caring for others, especially when we participated in causing harm in the first place...does the human spirit continue to compel us to do the right thing? Or are we moral jerks? A great "thinking" movie for a change.
Though the movie is slow paced, it is a terrific story. You are never sure what is going to happen next or whether the characters will make the right decisions. In the end you will walk away having felt the importance of friendship, love and honor. Terrific performances by Heche and Vaughn.
