The third and final installment based on the best-selling series of nine novels about the early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, written by Gerald N. Lund. Orlando Bloom has finally done it. After a sterling streak of piracy, elfishness, and the wonder that was Elizabethtown he's finally went and done a movie I just couldn't get in to. I thought the golden boy couldn't choose a bad script but Haven is a giant mishmash of concepts and storylines that never really add up. The worst part of all is that Haven doesn't inspire passion either way, it has some interesting moments mixed with a disjointed storyline but it all ends as something highly forgettable. Sorry Bloom. No hard feelings, I'll still see whatever you choose next.
Haven stands for the tax haven that is the Cayman Islands. There are four (or maybe five, perhaps six) interwoven tales that all revolve the Caymans. I don't really know how to tackle plot without taking up way too much undeserved time so I'll just hit the basics. Bill Paxton plays a guy on the run from the federals (due to his use of the tax haven). He's got a daughter he takes flight with. Bloom plays a kid on the island who falls in love with the daughter of an important island businessman. The businessman also has a son who wants to be a gangster. Let's see, what else? You know what, that's good enough; the plot is so convoluted that going into detail would just be silly. Things jump back and forth through time and place but are never so much confusing as pointless ....
Director: Frank E. Flowers Starring: Orlando Bloom, Bill Paxton, Stephen Dillane, Zoe Saldana, Agnes Bruckner, Victor Rasuk, Anthony Mackie, Joy Bryant, Bobby Cannavale, Mpho Koaho, Caroline Goodall, Sarah Carter, Robert Wisdom

When word of the famed Eisenheim's (Ed Norton) illusions reaches Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), the ruler attends one of the magician's shows in order to debunk the performance. But when the prince's intended, Sophie von Teschen (Jessica Biel), assists the magician onstage, Eisenheim and Sophie recognize each other from their childhoods, and pretty soon they're totally hot for each other. As the clandestine romance continues, the prince's best cop (Paul Giamatti) is charged with exposing Eisenheim, even while the magician gains a devoted and vocal public following. Before long, Sophie turns up dead, and the logical suspect is Eisenheim himself.
