Grand Isle (2019)

You’ll have a grand time watching Luke Benward in Grand Isle (2019). Not to be confused with the Miami Beach drama Grand Hotel (2019), this action thriller takes place on the coast of Louisiana. The film follows a father who is convicted of murder. He tries to prove his innocence but in doing so, he uncovers darker truths about the events in question. The moral of this story is “what you don’t know can’t hurt you” and what you can’t see can be a real bummer — at least, when it comes to skin. Nevertheless, the suggestively-named Mr. Benward has Mr. Man bending himself upward to ogle the actor’s impeccable pecs. Although the handsome hunk shows off his hairy chest, we don’t get to see anything else. Sad but true, that’s the only flesh which is flashed. No wonder why this pic was a critical miss and box office flop despite the fact that it has Nicolas Cage, KaDee Strickland, and Kelsey Grammer in the cast. Considering Mr. Cage is no stranger to doffing his duds, the real plot twist in this thriller is the realization of Nick keeping his clothes on! The same can be said of Mr. Grammer. On the bright side, the movie received a Spotlight Award from the Lone Star Film Festival and scored a Special Mention at the Noir Film Festival. Hey guys, here’s a special mention from the team at the Mr. Man offices, spotlight more skin if you want to earn interest in spank banks!
