    Island Getaway...

    Two boys wander away from their field trip group, winding up on a deserted island. They discover they're not alone, as two criminals have been using the island as a hideout.

    Drama ensues when the two parties meet, causing a fight for survival.

    BLACK ISLAND is a decent kid adventure movie from England. The crooks are well-played, especially the very thuggish Jack (Michael Elphick), who gives off just the right amount of menace. He brings to mind some of Oliver Reed's more sinister portrayals.

    A tense adventure suitable for family viewing...
