...into a paranoid detective game and an exploration of the limits of reason and faith. As the castaways find what's inside a bunker (a psych experiment, a doomsday computer and a lot of 1980s furniture), their world expands. Joining them are a priest (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), an ex-cop (Michelle Rodriguez) and scary "Others" who don't like sharing their island. This detail-packed drama is worth watching for the first time, or for the second, with a finger on the PAUSE and REWIND buttons...

They began to worry when a Shi'ite friend who had been riding with them was allowed to leave. When the men showed their media badges, issued by the U.S. military, the cops accused them of being American spies.
