Send Help (2026) Review

When Linda Liddle and her terrible boss Bradley Preston are the only survivors of a plane crash, they are left battling to survive on a deserted island. They must manage to work together despite how they feel about one another.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything looked as though it was going to work out nicely for Linda Liddle, a hardworker within a company and had been promised a big promotion. The death of her boss though and his son Bradley Preston coming in to takeover was never going to end well for her. Being a little bit pushy and over the top he takes an instant dislike to her and that is something she won’t really be able to comeback from.

You cannot help but feel utterly sorry for Linda due to the way the men talk about her and in a lot of ways abuse the way she applies herself to her work and taken advantage of in that aspect of her life. She is very frumpy and I found that quite difficult given Rachel McAdams being in that role, as let’s face it she is anything but that!

When on a private plane that is heading to China for a business meeting, the worst thing happens when it crashes and Linda is left as the main survivor with Bradley, who was injured in it all and she does nothing but look after him until he regains consciousness. She had an obsession with a TV series called Survivor and had applied to be on it, which quite frankly was going to come in very handy having to survive on an island.

We reach a moment in the film where it passes the point of no return, and I don’t want to spoil what I fully mean by that but if you have seen it you will fully understand what I mean, and if you then watch the film soon you’ll get this! With this it went in a direction that I seriously could not have imagined, that is a compliment as I throughly enjoyed how it went rather crazy! Despite this and the actions, I still did not even feel sorry for Bradley a tiny bit.

The boundaries were constantly pushed as a viewer we were left wondering what was actually real and what wasn’t, I guess that type of feeling would be expected if you were stranded on an island. It has some rather brutal moments as well, which push you to the edge as a viewer. The performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien both work very well and at times that whole boss to employee relationship gave me some 9 to 5 vibes.
