White Island is a 2016 British comedy-thriller film directed by Benjamin Turner and starring Lyndon Ogbourne, Billy Zane, and Billy Boyd. The movie tells the story of a young DJ named Shay, played by Ogbourne, who travels from Manchester to Ibiza to work in the world-famous club scene. However, things take a dangerous turn when he unwittingly gets involved in a drug deal that goes wrong.

The movie opens with Shay feeling stuck in his mundane life in Manchester, working in a call center and dreaming of a more exciting existence. When he receives an invitation to work as a DJ in Ibiza, he jumps at the chance to escape his humdrum life and pursue his passion for music. Upon arriving in Ibiza, Shay is introduced to his boss for the summer, the larger-than-life veteran club promoter Ronnie, played by Zane.

Ronnie is a charismatic and shady character who takes Shay under his wing and introduces him to the wild world of the Ibiza club scene. However, Shay soon discovers that working in the club scene is not quite what he expected, as he is forced to deal with difficult clients and fend off advances from Ronnie's girlfriend, played by Gala Gordon.

Things take an unexpected turn when Shay is unknowingly roped into a drug deal by Ronnie, who convinces him to hold onto a package of narcotics. Shay's inexperience and naivety lead to him getting in over his head, as he finds himself pursued by a group of dangerous drug dealers who want their package back.

White Island skillfully blends comedy and suspense, with entertaining scenes of the hedonistic Ibiza club scene juxtaposed with the tension of Shay's predicament. The film also explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and morality, as Shay is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and make difficult decisions about who to trust.

Ogbourne delivers an impressive performance as the film's protagonist, portraying Shay with a mix of vulnerability and determination. Zane is also excellent as the charming and manipulative Ronnie, who provides a compelling contrast to Shay's earnestness.

The film's supporting cast is strong as well, with standout performances from Boyd as a cynical sound technician and Joel Dommett as Shay's best friend from home. The film's soundtrack, comprised of a mix of classic dance tracks and original music, adds to the authentic feel of the Ibiza party scene.

Overall, White Island is a fun and engaging film that offers a unique glimpse into the world of Ibiza club culture, while also delivering an entertaining and suspenseful plot. Recommended for fans of crime thrillers and dark comedies.
