Eden (2014)

The American national soccer team is headed home after a big tournament when their plane crashes off the coast of a deserted island in the survival drama Eden (2014). While vaguely reminiscent of Lost, Yellowjackets, and Lord of the Flies, the professional-athlete twist is a new and welcome rendition of a familiar, mostly because it's full of tight bodies and testosterone. Yes, Team USA is on the way back from a game against Brazil when their plane goes down on a Malaysian tropical island. With their coach dead, leadership splits between dueling team captains Andreas (Ethan Peck) and Slim (Nate Parker). Their big issue involves the only life raft they have. Slim wants to cut it up and use it as a rain collector, so they don't die of thirst, while Andreas wants to send some people on it to find help. Both are valid ideas, but Andreas isn't afraid to violently force people to agree with him, which is how Patton (Brad Schmidt) and McKenna (Michael Cardelle) end up floating away in search of help. Eventually things will really get violent, and a lack of water will end up being the least of anyone's worries. Friends will be killed off, old Japanese mines from WWII will be detonated, rations will decimate, and the soccer team may never play soccer on an actual field of grass again. It's all good, though, because Americans don't care about soccer. Plus, it gives us an unparalleled opportunity to see Brad Schmidt, Diego Boneta, Ethan Peck, Eugene Simon, Grant Alan Ouzts, and Nate Parker shirtless. In fact, they're pretty much always shirtless. What is it about life-or-death situations that makes everyone take their clothes off? No matter. These fellas will have you buying the idea that they're professional soccer players thanks to their six-pack abs and amazing chests. Still, we were pleadin for some full-frontal in Eden!
