Review of Retreat (2011) by Steve P — 05 Mar 2012
A Couple go to remote island for a break, hopefully to salvage their marriage, but their holiday is interrupted by a blood soaked stranger called Jack. He insists that a pandemic is sweeping across the world and that there only chance of survival is to board up the house and stop the air born disease getting to them.
Unfortunately the couple haven't been told the full truth. In fact it is private Jack from the army who was given the choice of either a prison sentence or to take part in some tests in which he became infected with a deadly air borne virus.
Cillian Murphy plays the part of the husband, he becomes infected and begs Kate to kill him which she does, then she turns the gun on Jack for lying. She is also shot by a sniper from a Navy helicopter after making contact through a radio receiver to be told they have a vaccine ready.
