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 bastard. This 10-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 heart-shape, so God gave her no heart??? WTF???) 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 almost entirely on a beautiful island.
