Initially it was the title of Island of Doomed Men that caught my attention. Then when I then noticed Peter Lorre I knew I had to check it out. Lorre and to a lesser degree Wilcox, brought something of real interest to the film with solid performances, Lorre in particular stands out. Unfortunately, the story set-up is oddly sequenced and then becomes so straightforward in its delivery that the viewer has a challenging time really getting into the proceedings. I think this film had some potential to be so much more than what it ended up being. Nevertheless and despite quite a few shortcomings, the Island of Doomed Men is still a watchable film.
