The BeachThis is a deep movie in the same way that an Adam Sandler movie is funny. Di Caprio's backgroundless, nomadic generic American tourist guy gets to Bangkok, drinks some snake blood, books into a crummy hotel and hears about a fabled island Paradise from Robert Carlyle - who uses exactly the same accent as Mike Myers did while playing Fat Bastard in "The Spy Who Shagged Me". Leo and a generic French couple find and swim to the Island which is ruled by generic Asian dope growers and an ungeneric Tilda Swinton. They play for a while and things go wrong, Leo goes "Lord of the Flies" postal and the drug growers come in.

The moral of the story, as far as I can accertain it from the silliness of this film is that if you have one idyllic moment in your life then everything's both hunky and dory. |
