Review of The Island

The Island (1998)
8/10
Kirkland is the bomb!
15 March 2008
It is too bad this film has never seen the light of day, save a small run on Dish Network.

The premise is great, JFK and Marilyn in exile together since 1963 on a desert island, where only the CIA delivers supplies.

Kirkland is standout as Marilyn Monroe and surely would have got some awards consideration for her amazing work if the film had been released properly.

Michael Murphy is great as JFK. A real treat for Baby Boomers and Marilyn fans.

Murphy and Kirkland have great chemistry and go at it with much passion in several scenes of heated dialogue and built of tension of the last 30 years.

Rumor has it Kirkland is going to distribute a copies with her Autobiography currently under way.
