One good actor can not produce a movie, when nothing else is there to add. Small talks may not always contribute to the atmosphere, expressly when randomly thrown into the soup. And a crude story remains just a sketch, whatever you try to do with it.
And this is the case with this movie. A huge potential wasted in a mediocre script, with barely convincing characters and a totally flat course. No music, nor the hurricane, could add to the lack of vibration in this scenario. This is a "Gran Torino" with a silly fake action movie beside. Denzel, who is a great actor and is playing excellent here too, becomes almost ridiculous trying to give some substance to nothing.
Total disappointment, and an unreal over-rating...

Really bad!
22 November 2015
Almost nothing to comment, it's like a bad joke, it leaves you with a bad taste and an awkward feeling. Oh, yes, if something to note, the script is really retarded. It ends into be a stupid thriller based on some kind of strange semi-moral lessons to be learned. It fails anyhow to be credible because of a really unbelievable bad plot development. It starts quite good and has some succeeded moments in the beginning. This ends really soon and start being really forced and artificial into narration. One wife overwhelmed by artist life rigors and kid's related responsibilities is urged "to the beach" for the weekend, leaving behind a devoted husband, a busy architect and a sexually frustrated 43 years old guy. Some maniacal girls pop up to his door, get invited inside and force him into having sex with. Then they decide to punish the unfaithful husband and presumed pedophile father. This part is really mental, but this is not the worst aspect. It is really not credible. Has nothing in common with real human behavior in the context. The end is hilarious, even more than the strange guy popping in at a point in time just to get killed for some wrongly added "tension". I could watch sometime a bad movie (kind of third category), if it at least deliver the normal dose of assumed absurd. This is a bad movie delivering half dose of stupid happening. Avoid!
