Haven (2006)

Pippa (what a cute name!) is whisked from the states to the Caymans by her shady businessman father, minutes ahead of the feds on his tail.

Fritz is a native hustler who has a way with the ladies who quickly becomes Pippa's island guide.

Shy is a sweetheart in love with the beautiful daughter of the island kingpin -- and neither the kingpin nor his son is too happy about it.

I kept assuming that, eventually, the flashbacks and current events would sync up satisfactorily and the storylines would finally mesh into something meaningful rather than simply a group of things that happened at the same time. Instead, to the end, it remained a jumble of scenes looking for a direction and that's pretty frustrating.

It looked good, it felt good -- but, somehow, in the end, it wasn't good.
