Boot Camp

Several troubled teens are sent to a remote Fiji island facility that promises reform through a high tech, luxurious rehabilitation program. What looks like a modern escape from trouble quickly reveals a harsher reality. Inside the camp, the staff run a rigid regime that blurs lines between care and coercion, enforcing routines, surveillance, and punishment. The teens bond under pressure, each bearing scars from past experiences, and the setting itself becomes a pressure cooker of control. As the parents back home believe their children are being treated with cutting edge methods, the young people discover how far the program will go to mold their minds. The threat is psychological as much as physical, and trust becomes a luxury over time.

Directed by Christian Duguay this project is credited to creators Agatha Dominik and John Cox. The film balances pacing with stark landscapes and a restrained score that heightens the sense of surveillance and unease, with Kunis in a key role.

Box office details are not widely reported for this title; with a 14 million budget, the film did not generate documented post release figures, and it largely circulated in limited venues rather than a broad theatrical run in select markets overseas.

Critically, the film is framed as a cautionary look at reform programs that vanishingly blur lines between care and control. It probes how coercive environments shape identity, trust, and resilience in young people facing pressure from adults and institutions. Its emphasis on psychological manipulation resonates with debates about real life reform programs, and accountability within institutions alike.

While it didn't spark a major cultural movement, the film adds to a gallery of cautionary tales about youth programs and captive environments. It has a notable performance by Mila Kunis that some viewers cite when discussing early thriller roles among fans.
