Send Help review

Tom Hanks did a movie called “Cast Away” almost 30 years ago where his only “companion” on a remote tropical island was a volleyball named Wilson. Fast forward to now, and in this episode’s movie “Send Help”, we’re shown two people that are also trapped on a remote tropical island who would’ve preferred their only “companion” there was a volleyball. Rachel McAdams plays Linda Liddle and Dylan O’Brien plays her corporate boss, Bradley Preston, and they’re both trapped in the middle of nowhere after their corporate jet crashes. Linda back in the world was the hard working company employee, but because she’s socially awkward, gets passed over for promotions. Bradley is the smarmy, narcissistic, cruel owner of the company, only because he got it handed down to him by his Daddy, the company founder. He treats Linda like dirt even though her work keeps the company afloat. Next thing you know the tables are turned on a remote tropical island, where Linda is the boss and Bradley is the helpless subordinate, because Linda has survival skills and he doesn’t. Bradley doesn’t like this arrangement one bit, but Linda of course loves it. Even though Linda helps nurse him back to health and provides food and shelter for Bradley, he still is who he is. Also, Linda doesn’t ever want to leave this island, and the new power dynamic. This leads to some bloody conflict and chaos. Is it worth going to the theater to see everything that happens? Watch this episode to find out! “Send Help” also stars Dennis Haysbert, Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Emma Raimi, Kristy Best, Francesca Waters and Olivia Sawyer.
