Haven is a 2004 crime-drama film directed by Frank E. Flowers. The story revolves around two businessmen - Shy (Orlando Bloom) and Andrea (Zoe Saldana) - who flee to the Cayman Islands to avoid federal prosecution. The two have been involved in money laundering and other illegal activities, and they hope to escape punishment by hiding out in the tropical paradise.
However, their escape sets off a chain of events that affects the lives of several other characters on the island. One of these is a young British native named Fritz (Victor Rasuk), who becomes infatuated with Andrea and ends up committing a crime to impress her. This sets off a chain reaction of violence and betrayal that ultimately leads to tragedy for many of the characters involved.
Meanwhile, local police officer Spikes (Anthony Mackie) is investigating the businessmen's activities and trying to track them down. He becomes personally involved when he realizes that his teenage daughter has become romantically involved with Shy.
The film was shot on location in the Cayman Islands and features stunning scenery and a strong sense of place. It deals with themes of greed, corruption, and the clash between different cultures and classes. The cast includes several rising stars, including Bloom, Saldana, and Mackie, as well as seasoned actors such as Bill Paxton and Stephen Dillane. While not a box office success, Haven has earned a cult following and has been praised for its stylish direction and strong performances.
