I enjoyed this Canadian film about a lawyer, Richard, who has messed up and likely to lose a major client who is invited to visit his boss, Preston, and his wife at their island retreat with his wife, in an attempt to resolve the situation and save his job. As soon as he arrives on the island his boss who has come to meet him is in an angry confrontation with a local man. We soon learn that a local family, the Lynley's, were in financial difficulties and Preston had acquired their land for nothing. In the evening while enjoying food, wine and wife swapping their is a knock at the door and this is where the trouble escalates. The Lynley's are set on revenge for the land grab, so clearly there will be some violence soon. While not a suspensful film it moves along at pace, so never becomes boring and I was never quite sure how it would end.
