Hunky but largely charm-free Jeremy Sumpter is the wayward "Kyle" - son of a slightly dodgy gazilionnaire "Hartmann" (Sebastian Koch) - who is sent to a remote Scottish island camp for the disparate offspring of equally rich people who have lost control of their children. Ed Westwick ("Speck") and three of his pals hit on a plan to attack this barely guarded outpost and hold the weans for ransom - $1 billion no less. Their plan works fine except for the fact that "Kyle" manages to escape and finding an inner strength previously unknown to him, realises that he can rescue his buddies and they can all work together in the ultimate team-bonding exercise to take down the baddies... No, it's not very good. A sort of "Hunger Games" meets the "Adventure Game" with plenty of eye candy, but precious little else by way of suspense or decent writing/acting/directing to help it along for what seemed like quite a long 100 minutes of low budget cinematography. It's fine to watch on telly whilst your are ironing, or doing something equally mundane - but that's about it.
