(drama, romance, thriller)
Lewis, Sheriff and Tony are three American guys who meet and hang out one summer at the beach huts of Malaysia. There they enjoy the luxuries of women, rum and hashish. As the summer ends, Tony and Sheriff go back to New York, but Lewis decides to go to Borneo to help save the orangutan. But before he got the chance to leave, he was arrested for possession of the leftover hash and sentenced to death because he was considered to be trafficking. Two years go by and Sheriff and Tony are living their lives peacefully in The Big Apple when Lewis' lawyer tells them the news: three years each if they both go, six years if one goes, Lewis' death if neither go. Although they both do not want Lewis to die, they do not know him well enough to really want to sacrifice three years of their life to a Third-World prison. "Return to Paradise" watches Sheriff and Tony as they struggle to decide in the short period of time.

This film is about moral dilemma - whether or not to give up three, or perhaps
six years of life in prison for accepting a prison in Malaysia, or
continue to live in freedom, knowing that a friend has died as a result. This
point must be made in advance - is not a film about the rights or
errors Asia judicial or criminal, nor is it a film about the morality
drug.
We therefore remain the two characters, Sheriff (Vaughn) and Tony (Conrad) who have
to make this decision, and to go through the decision-making process,
unequivocally prodded by his friend's lawyer Beth (Heche). This
tortuous process is played against the background of comparatively comfortable
his hometown, New York. And not only the comforts of home, but also
job and marriage prospects.
The process is played a little, though unevenly, given the nature of the
perhaps this decision is not surprising. However, when it is defective
sudden blossoming of romance between Sheriff and Beth. Prior to this
there has been no indication of this turn of events, in fact, quite the contrary as
the two had fallen out of favour with regularity and seems to have a mutual dislike for each other
. There is a feeling of a piece of contrived plot that
to make matters worse, will form the basis of

characters are left on their own. That does not mean that the result would have been different
but it may also have affected some of the decisions
individuals took toward the end. It also could have been an opportunity for
add a little more reality and edge to the story, especially if officials
took an approach that put U.S. foreign relations over the interests of its own citizens
!
This is a film that makes us think - and not the film that makes
can be written off. And the acting, especially Heche and Phoenix, is pretty cool. But
the plot flaws mean that it is a good, rather than a great movie.
'Return to Paradise "is one of the most underrated films of recent
years. He deserves at least three Oscar nominations. Best actress: Anne Heche
, Best Supporting Actor: Joaquin Phoenix and best original score: Mark Mancina
. Is it because it was not a big studio film that was stolen
these nominations? After reading other reviews, others feel the same way
. Even some Golden Globe Nods would have been warrented.
This film was not released in theaters here in Australia and went directly
video and I understand that a failure was the cause in most states
people were busy paying money to see the regular garbage that comes from
Hollywood. This is a shame because I would have made the effort to see a
couple of times in the cinema.
Anne Heche (Psycho) gave this astonishing performance in the film (perhaps the
performance of his career), my heart was aching at the end of it and the rest of the cast
including Vince Vaughn (Psycho), David Conrad (
Men of Honor), Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator) and Jada Pinket Smith (Scream 2)
that you hate the movie once more as she is pretty good , As the bitchy / power
journalist hunger are so convincing in their roles.
Everybody should have a very good idea of what it means to the plot, but even if
is not your cup of tea, the film is worth seeing for the performances that
Unfortunately, have passed almost unnoticed. Check out
