Most of the time, Orlando Bloom is to acting what Justin Timberlake is to heavy metal - Kingdom Of Heaven, for instance, was like making Gladiator with Paul Walker instead of Russell Crowe.
In this slight but passable romantic thriller, however, Bloom comports himself terrifically well as a Cayman Island-born beach bum whose dalliance with a dark-skinned beauty (Zoe Saldana, a name to watch) leads to an act of vengeance which leaves Bloom’s handsome face disfigured by acid (It’s a pretty-boy actor’s dream, so no wonder Bloom also produced).
A subplot involving a businessman (Bill Paxton - what is he doing in this?) is less convincing, but no matter: this is strictly for Bloom groupies - assuming there are any old enough to buy or rent this.
