My husband and I have now been on the Atoll 3 times.The first time we had booked a week on the boat and a week on one of the Islands. THe day we were due to change over the Captain called us to his cabin and told us that our Island was over booked . He said we could stay on the boat for a further week or we could still go to the Island. 2 other couples were also made the same offer. We now think the boat was underbooked and she cannot sail with too few passengers. Ourselves and one other couple decided to stay on (if we had booked 2 weeks we would have paid more) On the second night of our second week a beautiful cake was brought to our table, with welcome back on it and when we went to our cabin, the beds had all been decorated with flowers and garlands.

It's a sad and sorry state of affairs when, out of the dozen or so newly released movies on offer at your cinema, Exit Wounds appears to be the most worthy choice. I guess that all depends on how old you are but my mate and I didn't want to see kiddie flicks so that was ruled out, nor romantic tosh that's been recycled fifty times, nor did we want to see stuff that was totally panned by everyone. So, we ventured along to see a nice no-brainer action flick, and everyone was happy.
The vague sense of unease I felt building up before I went and saw this eventually bloomed into full-on discomfort as scene after scene of glitch-ridden filmmaking paraded before me. It can be said that if you want an obligation-free fun-filled shoot 'em up, then this fully delivers the goods. However this movie at times descends into the diabolical and if ...
