This is already the third time or so that I watched "Three" and even if you know about the developments, this film has lost nothing of its atmospheric drama at all. It's written and directed by Stewart Raffill and stars Juan Pablo Di Pace, Kelly Brook and Billy Zane. The latter two were a couple at that point. Zane sure is a lucky fella (meh had to censor the word that starts with "bas"). This ten-year-old movie could also have been called "Basic Instinct" as we witness three people on a deserted island for almost the entire movie. (Yes, Zane shipwrecked again!) They fight for survival, for love and also for power. Who can make it? Which of the two guys is the true alpha male and gets the girl?

It's not a perfect film by any means. Some parts I did not like that much, such as the overly dramatic music at the beginning, the voodoo references and also some of the dialogs (perfect ass in the shape of a heart, so God gave her no heart??? wtf? cringe is real),but still the positive parts outweighed the negative of course. Kelly Brook is incredibly hot and wears little to nothing for the whole movie. Even three (partially) graphic sex scenes are included. Then there is the rich-vs-poor parallel, which is interesting. And you could raise some questions about moral, for example how one character saves the life of his murderer early on. Or you could discuss the female's final decision. Was it right? Was it smart? What if he gets rescued later on? Will she go to jail? That final shot sure was magnificent though. All in all, I really recommend this movie. I had a great time watching it again and it also has great cinematography as it takes place almost entirely on a beautiful island.

When I imagine being shipwrecked on a remote island, with nothing to eat except for what I can catch in the sea, the sun beating down, and only the rags I was washed up in to wear for the foreseeable future, it's not an appealing prospect. When I imagine the same situation, only in the company of busty Brit babe Kelly Brook, whose entire wardrobe consists of a tiny white bikini and a green chiffon scarf, being so far away from civilisation suddenly seems much more bearable…

In Three (AKA Survival Island),boat-hand Manuel (Juan Pablo Di Pace) finds himself stranded on a deserted island with Jennifer (played by voluptuous Brook) after a fire on a chartered yacht forces them overboard. Manuel takes a liking to Jennifer ('cos, you know, he's not blind, or gay) but he's barely had time to acquaint himself with the lovely lady before another survivor is washed up on the island: Jennifer's husband Jack (Billy Zane),who's none too happy at seeing Manuel eyeing up his tasty wife. Two's company and three's a crowd, as the saying goes, and pretty soon Jack and Manuel are at each other's throats, and with Jennifer eventually succumbing to Manuel's charms, it ain't going to end well.

There's no two ways about it, Three is utter trash. But it's entertaining trash. Kelly Brook can't act to save her life but she's got a killer set of curves, and with the gorgeous gal strutting around in her swimsuit, occasionally taking it off for a swim or to have sex in the surf, I was never bored. Zane overacts for all he's worth, but he doesn't care—he was too busy hooking up with Brook in real life to care about giving a decent performance. Juan Pablo Di Pace is forgettable as the Latino hunk, but he serves a purpose: he's there to for the ladies to lust over while the guys are drooling over Ms. Brook's bod.

THREE is a lacklustre psychological thriller about three disparate characters who get stranded on a desert island and who must learn to co-exist - or not, as it turns out. But HELL IN THE PACIFIC this isn't. The film's star role is given over to model-turned-actress Kelly Brook, who is certainly as voluptuous as they get but who is nowhere near a real actress, even with the kindest of lenses. Now, I liked Brook when she made PIRANHA 3D a few years later; she was funny and self-knowing then, but not so here, where she struggles with the gravitas and feels wooden throughout. Thank goodness for Billy Zane, then, the Jonah of seafaring films, who is underutilised but brings some ferociousness to his part. The film kind of drags along interminably, suffering from the lack of likeable cast members, and features random nudity and sex scenes which feel forced. It's never exciting, and the twist ending is more stupid than anything.
