Survival Island is a 2005 action thriller film directed by Stewart Raffill and starring Billy Zane, Kelly Brook, and Juan Pablo Di Pace. The movie revolves around a newlywed couple named Jack and Jennifer who are on a romantic journey on a yacht in the South Pacific along with their sailor Manuel. When the yacht runs aground on a desert island and a giant storm wrecks the ship, the trio must fight for their survival against nature, each other, and a group of pirates who invade the island.

The movie starts with the couple planning to spend some quality time alone on a deserted island, away from the hustle of city life. However, their plans are thwarted when their yacht runs into bad weather and they are forced to take shelter on a nearby island with Manuel, their sailor. As they explore the island, they discover it to be uninhabited, and with ample resources, they feel they can survive until help arrives to rescue them.

However, things take a turn for the worse when a group of pirates, led by the ruthless J.D., arrive on the island, seeking refuge from the authorities. J.D. has a keen interest in Jennifer and becomes increasingly hostile towards Jack, who begins to feel threatened by the pirate's advances. As they gather resources, build shelter, and try to find a way back to civilization, the pirate's menace grows, and the couple is soon forced to fight for their survival against not only the elements but also their human enemies.

The movie is a fast-paced action thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its unpredictable twists and turns. The characters are well defined, and the acting is impressive. Billy Zane delivers a convincing performance as the protective husband who wants to keep his wife safe, while Kelly Brook portrays the role of an attractive and intelligent wife who uses her wit and survival instincts to stay alive. Juan Pablo Di Pace is effective as the sailor who is caught in between the couple's problems and the pirate's machinations.

The cinematography is stunning, drawing on the lush, green surroundings of the island and the turquoise waters that surround it. The film's music is also worth mentioning, adding to the dramatic tension of the movie with its suspenseful and eerie tones.

One of the stand-out features of the film is its portrayal of the human psyche under extreme pressure. The couple is pushed to their limits, as they face the challenges of surviving on an island with no modern amenities while the pirates add to their troubles. The movie is a commentary on the lengths people are willing to go to survive in adverse conditions, and the dark consequences of desperation and paranoia.

Overall, the movie is a thrilling ride that keeps you engaged from start to end.
