'Donkey Punch' fails to live up to potential
17/07/2008 - 19:48:32

A murder drama that starts well enough but fails to maintain its promise, which is a pity since there is the gem of a better film just under the waterline.Director: Oliver Blackburn

Cast: Sian Breckin, Robert Boulder, Tom Burke, Nicola Burley

Cert: 18

A murder drama that starts well enough but fails to maintain its promise, which is a pity since there is the gem of a better film just under the waterline.

Set in Mallorca where a group of English girls meet three young men and accept an invitation to join them on a yacht for the usual holiday drinks, drugs and sex.

It all goes overboard, of course, with a killing and an attempted cover-up leading to a deadly cat-and-mouse battle of wits.

But, somehow, there is no real tension in a plotline that fails to hold together.

Star Rating: 2/5
