ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

saminbarbate It is not often that the sheer dreadfulness of a movie can keep me glued to the sofa, but this nonsense did. It started badly, went downhill then like a firework spluttered to a end. There is not a line spoken by any of the leading actors that looked like it was not being read off a teleprompter, a finer example of dreadful direction & waste of acting talent is rarely seen, I would go so far as to say that each of the 'stars' look like they were trying to get over a monumental bender, & the beyond wooden acting is almost a joy to behold. The few shining moments in the movie are only evident in those actors who are playing the locals. I couldn't bring myself to give this a 1 rating, but this has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Gino Cox "Turks & Caicos" seems oddly incomplete. That it is a made-for-television film and a sequel to "Page Eight," an earlier program, explains some of the gaps, but doesn't excuse them for a viewer who hasn't seen the earlier program. The limited budget associated with a television production is clearly evident. Most of the film takes place in about half a dozen locations, notably a large resort that seems largely unoccupied, a stretch of beach that seems unoccupied, and the lead character's home, which also seems unoccupied. Two scenes supposedly shot at an airport seem particularly bereft of engers and airport personnel. There are no sweeping helicopter shots of white sandy beaches, resort hotels or palatial homes and no shots of local customs, culture or festivals. We see two local policemen, a few fishermen, a single mother with her son and a few food service employees in the background, but very little of Turks & Caicos, which seems largely unoccupied. For a resort island, it seems more desolate than secluded or pristine.The plot is sketchy at best, although much of the background story was apparently developed in "Page Eight." It revolves around unethical people in cahoots with unethical politicians engaging in deceitful ing practices tied tenuously to recent sensational news. There are no car chases, fisticuffs, shoot-outs or on screen seductions. There are between three and five romances, but none are explored on screen. We see little beyond their aftermaths. Most of the key events occur off-screen, leaving us only a final confrontation that is difficult to follow without knowing the characters or having witnessed the various plots, subterfuges and deceptions first hand. John le Carré can spin a tale based on some obscure transaction, such as a disbursement to a supposedly dead spy. This movie tries to emulate that type of story with desk-bound analysts who can never escape the call of duty to Queen and country, but we never get close enough to the characters, the action or the setting for a truly satisfying experience. We get a dialogue-heavy story that feels like an overly long episode of a television series that we've never seen before. Despite various frustrations with the film, the final scene was affecting; however, it was intercut with a parallel scene that leaves the viewer wondering if two characters can really be that ignorant. There are a couple of brief scenes involving a rudimentary piece of communications equipment that seem to be bound by 1960s technology. Production values are modest, but adequate. Some of the dialogue is mumbled and Bill Nighy's character responds to several questions by repeating the question, at one point twice in a row. The actors do well with what they're given. The film is so obtuse that one needs to pay close attention to follow the plot, but the rewards for such close attention to detail are relatively modest in comparison. It would probably be more rewarding for a viewer who has seen "Page Eight."Solid performances, especially by Nighy, Ryder and Walken make the film watchable, but it's not a film one wants to view repeatedly to catch the subtle nuances.

r-r-stevens This film had me at David Hare. Throw in the wonderful cast with Winona Ryder, Judy Davis, Christopher Walken, Ralph Fiennes ... and my very favorite actor Bill Nighy, and I was actually gang had. What an entertaining job they all did in confirming what we already knew about the corruption and constant lying during the indecency that was the Bush istration and its War of Errors in the War on Terror. This trilogy is a masterpiece. Many thanks to everyone who made this movie so wonderful and who restores my hope for a better world. I was astounded that the last two parts of the trilogy actually did come up to my hopes for it, even though I was not confident that this was even possible. 'Page 8' was a life changing experience for me - I've watched it a dozen times! - mainly because of the mesmerizing dialog of David Hare and the incomparable performance from Bill Nighy. More! More!

adrianwilson2002 I was looking forward to watching Turks and Caicos, with its enviable cast list and intriguing plot. However, it turned out to be one of the WORST films I have ever seen (probably top 3). It was completely devoid of interest, depth or character. I spent the whole hour and a half waiting for something to happen and by the time something seemed to be happening at the end I found I was utterly uninterested. I hadn't engaged with any of the characters, perhaps because they were all one-dimensional. The whole film felt like it was rushed; written in an afternoon with some political references shoe-horned in and none of it fitting together at all. Everything felt contrived. Perhaps it was just badly edited, so that it jerked along with no real direction. At no point did I feel any empathy for the characters or care what was happening, let alone feel any sense of tension. Winona Ryder's character and performance would have been described as hammy and lacking in depth in a daytime soap. This 'Frank and Gary' that we barely met at the start suddenly turn into central characters from nowhere. Rupert Graves' character also turns out to be important yet he hardly has any lines and carries nothing of the powerful man he is supposed to be. Christopher Walken appeared to be doing a caricature of himself. It would have been disappointing and underwhelming as a low-budget, obscure-channel, daytime production. It should have been good but it instead it was truly truly awful. It has no redeeming qualities. Everyone involved should feel embarrassed.
