Plot


David (Xian Lim), a photographer, has been married to his flight attendant wife Kanika (Coleen Garcia) for two years, and they live an intimate life as a couple. One day, though, David catches Kanika cheating on him with her co-worker (TJ Trinidad), and spends some time apart from his wife by going to Sin Island (short for Sinilaban Island).[2] At the beach, David sees a tattooed woman named Tasha (Nathalie Hart), a fashion designer who is practicing her yoga, and the two begin an affair. Meanwhile, Kanika decides to repair her relationship with David, but finds herself in conflict with Tasha, who has eventually become his mistress.[1][3][4]

Theme


Jancy Nicolas, the screenwriter of Sin Island, elaborated on the film's theme of "fighting for love": "It really talks about redeeming love, redeeming a marriage, and fighting for it. More than 'yung edge niya (its edge), more than 'yung darkness niya (its darkness), it's really fundamentally a story of a marriage."[5]


Reception


Writing for Rappler, Oggs Cruz called Sin Island "very watchable" despite its flaws concerning the "tame" sex scenes as well as the "blatant illogic," incoherent plot.[6] Philbert Dy, film critic for The Neighborhood who scored the film 0.5 out of 5, compared Sin Island to "children playing at being adults," and criticized its "subpar" production values, mediocre acting, and "poorly staged sex and violence".[2]
