A young couple,Margot and Tyler, embarks a private boat to visit an exclusive destination restaurant on a remote island where the very famous chef prepared a great menu.

Tyler is a really big fan of the chef and loves to taste food and talk about it. Margot doesn't care.

 

The employees show them around the complex, and tells them the only place they can't visit is the chef's house.

Once they are seated and start eating, weird things start happening. Like, the chef gives very personal information about his parents and his drunk mother, and an employee shoots himself in the head in what seems to be part of the service.

People are scared,the only one oblivious to this is Tyler,who keeps eating and talking about the food as if nothing happens.

From then on,things start getting from worse to worst, and turns out Tyler is not as innocent as he looks.

 

I personally didn't like the movie. It doesn't have a heart, it's just empty. SPOILERS The ones working at the restaurant just seem off their rocker as they planned this mass suicide, but they don't want to only k!ll themselves,but k!ll the customers too ,who paid a lot of money to dine there,as to them this will be the perfect ending.

Margot is the only loose end, as in, they don't know anything about, as they gathered all the information about all the other guests(some of it they put on food).

In the end they let Margot go, and she's just only for herself, she rescued herself and no one else matters,as I noticed a trend in the past years in Hollywood movies, everyone is for themselves, and single.

 

The actors were great.

I honestly don't remember the soundtrack.

 

The movie out in cinemas, is streaming on HBO Max, HBO Max Amazon Channel, and is for sale on Amazon, Google, Redbox, Vudu, YouTube.
