Watch Haven For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

What a horrible movie. It's pretentious and wannabe cool, but the video-clip style editing and constant jumping in time just serve to annoy and confuse. The main problem is the depressing story though. It's about miserable people who all end up miserable, with no redeeming features such as an interesting character study or something like that. It appears to be an attempt at having many seemingly unrelated plot lines coming together at the end like a jigsaw puzzle, but the connections are so tenuous and arbitrary that that aspect falls entirely flat.Utterly pointless, except for people who enjoy watching misery. The three out of ten is purely for the location, which slightly redeems the movie as something to watch for the pretty pictures.

When I first saw Haven mentioned in an article about Orlando Bloom I was picturing yet another love story, but I was very much mistaken. There is a lot of cussing in it, but the acting is wonderful, especially by Bloom.I was pleased to see they actually shot on location sites that you would see on Grand Cayman instead of stating where the story was set once while shooting on some set in London somewhere or something like that. It gave it a real feel for the island but didn't make it a tour guide to the island. I especially liked the scene in Georgetown when you see the little old lady singing on the street corner for money, it brought back memories of being there myself. But having grown up as Grand Cayman as a second home I have never heard any of the locals use about half the slang that they were using, and there were randomly placed subtitles of the locals speaking in English which was mildly annoying.Definitely worth your time to watch.

I was channel surfing last night and ran across this movie on Starz. I was utterly captivated by it - so much so that I went out to Rotten Tomatoes to see how it had been reviewed. I was totally shocked to find that it came in at 12% (rotten).I agree with some of the other comments that compare the overall style and altered timeline to Tarantino's work. It also put me in mind of both Crash and Babel, where the ensemble cast are all tied together by intricate twists of circumstance and and fate, eventually resolving into a common plot theme.The first thing I loved about this movie was the acting. All of the actors were wholly believable in the roles they played - Paxton, Bloom and Saldana especially so. The directing and the leaps forward and backward in time were confusing at turns, but if you stick with the movie it all comes together nicely. The second thing I loved about this movie was its location - the Cayman Islands. Far from portraying it as a vacationer's paradise, I felt Flowers captured the tone and tenor of life in the Caymans which expanded the movie's believability immensely.All I can say is this - if you were a fan of either Crash or Babel, I suspect you'll like this movie - it's worth your time to watch it!

As stated in the title, I only watched the film to see Orlando. He looked great EVEN after the acid on part of his face bit.He did do a good job with his role.But, the film??..I was so confused. Jumping back & forth, repeating bits.Start the film with Orlando & the actress from Pirates 1 then we do NOT see him again until over 25 minutes later. Bill Paxton I have never liked & he could not act his way out of a wet paper bag.Left hanging at the end of the film.Yep, she turns 18, has her boyfriend spend the night with her so she turns into a whore on drugs. Hey, dummy-YOU COULD HAVE LEFT HOME YOU KNOW IF YOUR FAMILY TREATED YOU THAT BADLY.I am glad I did NOT buy the DVD, I only watched it on TV. Even with Orlando to look at it would have been a waste of money.
