"Escape From Hell Island", based on Robert Sheckley's novel "The Man On The Water", is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. A ridiculous and pointless thriller/drama with no plot, absolutely no tension, weak acting, and a bunch of stupid and completely unlikable characters.
It's basically 60 minutes of people talking and 20 minutes of a man who
got thrown into the water, trying to get back on the ship.
My hopes were high when I read that the script was written by T.L.P. Swicegood, the man behind the super-hilarious "The Undertaker And His Pals" - unfortunately, his vapid and half-assed script is probably the worst thing about this turd.
1 word: AVOID!!!

What I particularly like about this review is that the screen shot from the film is just a boat - as if to say the most interesting thing about this movie is that there's a boat - and from what you've said here that seems to be accurate.
