Kate and Martin escape from personal tragedy to an Island Retreat. Cut off from the outside world, their attempts to recover are shattered when a man is washed ashore, with news of airborne killer disease that is sweeping through Europe.
Retreat is a textbook example of a great cast being stranded by a disappointing script. It plays like an unofficial, underwhelming side-story to the 28 Days Later franchise, but without any of the payoff. Great talent, wasted potential.
