I should give it 4 stars really because there are only two flaws in this film and they are the accents are inconsistent and one or two unbelievable and secondly it takes a little while before all the drama to start.
But I love it. The directing is brilliant and Orlando Bloom is at his very best in acting along with the rest of the cast. It's multi plotted so you get all these different perspectives and when everything ties in nicely at the end you're left really impressed. It's one of those films you can watch over and over to pick up the clues and links.
It's a shame this film didn't get the wide release it deserved because it could've really done wonders for Orlando Bloom's credibility as an flexible actor and also give some much deserved limelight on the rest of the cast, including Frank E. Flowers the director and writer.
The soundtrack is also very good and fits in perfectly. Although there are quite a few different storylines going on at once they are all easy to follow. The beginning may drag on a little bit but when the film is viewed in its entirety you can really appreciate it.
The ending. Well. It's brilliant in my opinion, but it's one that will have most people divided... it's open to interpretation and I also think that every character gets just about what they deserve. This really is a timeworthy film, one of those little gems that never really get discovered.

Not being Orlando Bloom's biggest fan put me off this film at first, however, his performance within such a strong cast changed my mind within the first five minutes. I can't think of another film that brings to life the West Indies in a better way than this. It has everything, action, romance, gansters and a bit of tragedy as well. There is a great soundtrack on this film and it looks really stunning. Highly recommended.

Oh dear me...what an incredible mess of a film. I nearly gave it 1 star, something I have never done before on amazon, I believe, at least for a film. I am particularly disappointed because I have visited Grand Cayman myself, albeit only a short business trip a decade ago; I worked for a while on another, smaller, Caribbean island and was really looking forward to seeing a film based in Cayman, even though my own impression was that the island (at least, the Georgetown area) was not so much Caribbean as Florida-offshore.
The film contains a few interwoven strands and tries to be both exciting and involvingly deep, but fails totally on both counts and really all others too. The stories revolve around the drug-soaked underworld of the island. There may well be such a demi-monde there, though my own impression was of a kind of Americanized Caribbean Switzerland, where the roads (well, the one road) are actually patched-up properly, where the main problems are traffic jams and boredom and where the people I met (admittedly, lawyers and secretaries rather than drug traffickers and violent marginalized robbers etc) seemed, if anything, markedly prissy.
In the end the end came, of course. I was glad. No thanks.

Ill advised, incomprehensible, overacted crap! I expected a LOT more from this poorly thought out and even worse put together attempt.

Cool and stylish film
I liked the way the story lines were chopped up so that segments were organised to build up to a climax in the central and sub plot. Read more

A tiresome film where it's cinematography gets in the way of its duel...
Haven is another multi-plotted film with a huge cast of characters circling around each other who come to the inevitable clash as narratives converge. Read more
