Three hot girls, four guys, and one mega-swanky yacht collide for a serious night of drugs and sexual deviancy. One debaucherous act goes too far though, turning this teen joy ride into a weekend of bloody bedlam.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I'm not sure exactly why this is so bad - maybe because there are so many things wrong.Acting was fair. Most characters were annoying and one dimensional. Most people will watch it for the "punch' but it is slow leading up to it and slow afterward. I was relieved to see some of them die.Technically - portions of the movie were so black that you could not see what was happening and this was is places where it lent nothing to the script or movie to do so.Clichés - Many with no twist. Because nothing ever goes wrong when a bunch of kids go party with strangers on a boat...Joke is on the viewer - real person who got punched.
I'm not sure what I expected when I put Donkey Punch on. I didn't read much about it and only vaguely remember a trailer for it back in 2008.The basic plot is girls decide to go on a holiday to Spain to take their friend's mind off her cheating ex. Cue sun, sea and nightclubbing where they meet three young men and later another man who just happen to be a part of a crew of a yacht. More sun sea and partying with kinky stories told of a the movies namesake. During a graphic sex scene between five of the revellers one of the girls is accidentally killed. Lies and desperation the men try to hide their crime while the girls want to expose them, leading to a fight for survival.The story was all well and good and the acting was very well done especially the characters of Bluey and Kim. Some have said it was predictable and it does follow a slightly typical storyline of boys vs girls. However, there is more. Unlike Hollywood productions like this there is no stalking serial killer in a mask, no thick girls screaming while running upstairs instead of out the door. The script was sometimes a bit disjointed and I did lose interest once or twice which was a shame.Overall it was interesting, brutal but enjoyable and entertaining. The deaths were not over the top and sometimes it felt quite realistic. It was easy to forget it was so low budget. Not for everyone and not one to watch with your Nan but definitely if you are a fan of Brit flicks give it a shot.
It does contain spoilers....If you are looking for a good film.... This is not it. The idea of some guys with some girls on a boat out on the sea, doing drugs, 'partying' and then an accident happening and things getting out of hand while everybody is in outer space.... It's not a bad idea. This film however is just senseless. It shows almost zero insight in human behaviour.... I really don't feel like commenting more about it, just would like to point out that it is a disappointing film. And I didn't even expect much from it. It began OK, until the actual Donkey Punch, from there it just started to become more and more dreadful. It could've been better in many ways, almost all. Though the acting of the female actors was OK (Jaime Winstone was also good in Dead Set) and some of the guys weren't all that bad either. The problem is the storyline. Perhaps next time involve a decent psychologist in the writing process.... Or just someone with common sense. "Common sense is not so common", presumably said by Voltaire. Hence the fact there are so many mediocre or worse films. Anyways I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Not to be an ass really. I wish the writers the best of luck and hope they will do better than this in the future.
A friend recommended this and he is not a friend anymore. How did this ever get made? It is ridiculous film completely. Is this all British film funding can invest in- a film bout someone getting killed by a 'slap of the penis'? Maybe the problem is that most directors need a couple of films before they produce something worthwhile. But how on earth did the director think that a story like this would be a good idea? Im baffled and completely out of touch with his though processes. Its all a bit 'laddy' for me, film with kids taking drugs, looking for sex with backing rave music, then some 'tarantino rip-off' drama happens. Better British films out there like 'The Business'. One to avoid at all costs.
