Boot Camp (2007) 7/10

Starring : Mila Kunis, Gregory Smith, Peter Stormare, Regine Nehy
Director : Christian Duguay
Running Time : 96 mins

Sophie (Kunis) is a teenager who acts out against her parents, specifically her father, in any way she can, but one day she is snatched away and drugged and finds herself in Camp Serenity – a boot camp in Fiji her parents have organized for her to go to – where the kids are treated like prisoners and are habitually abused and indoctrinated into the islands way of thinking.

This movie plays out like The Lord Of The Flies, with lots of unnecessary suspicions leading to violent outbursts. Some of the scenes had the potential to be hard to take, but thankfully the director chose to film this as tastefully as possible. The acting is a little sub par in places, but this is still a reasonably intriguing movie in spite of its slap dash layout and open ending.
