The Beach
There is a young, nicotine-ridden young man named Richard, who is a fan of pop culture. That guy looks different, he likes video games and Vietnam War movies fantastically. While in a hotel in Bangkok, Richard found a map left by his stranger. That map leads to a mythical island paradise where some other evil spirits settle. On a trip that is the strangest to Richard, who seems to be in trouble with what is happening next to his other friends.

...Riddled with bizarre contrivances and unlikely scenarios.

The Beach taps into something powerful that can't be overwhelmed by individual moments of silliness.
April 06, 2010
A narrative that tries to juggle thriller elements, tons of pop culture imagery, and way too much philosophical baggage.

By attempting to combine elements of mystery, adventure, action and romance, 'The Beach' becomes too jumbled to follow with much interest.

The Beach, designed to provoke audiences, stops for too many Hollywood moments to get the job done.

A brilliant example of changing the material to suit the medium without losing the message.

DiCaprio especially is to be congratulated. He proves once again he's more than just another pretty face.

While it thumped along, I had plenty of time to ponder the other and better movies that it reminded me of.

Leo is surprisingly masculine, charming and effective in this stylish, gorgeous, but clumsily structured Nintendo-generation update of Lord of the Flies.
February 17, 2003
Three-fifths of a great movie sunk by a crucial tonal misstep. A cross between Lord of the Flies, Swiss Family Robinson and Apocalypse Now.

A mad assemblage of earlier, better bungle-in-the-jungle stories.

Ultimately, it seems more bland than bad.
