mbers. But a tragic accident quashes their idyll, and Blackburn’s movie takes a darker turn as the young seafarers are faced with a series of moral dilemmas.
DONKEY PUNCH is named after a kinky and violent sexual practice that the male crewmembers brag about while trying to seduce their female prey. Blackburn pushes his young cast to the limit as he spins the movie around an instance of the "donkey punch," until things turn increasingly maniacal in its final third. The confused and angry interactions between the two groups of strangers is well explored, and the director throws enough twists and turns into the plot to keep viewers guessing where the film might end up. Scenes are often shot in tight close-up to highlight both the confines of the boat and the terror on the faces of Blackburn’s group of actors. It’s an effective ploy that really ratchets up the tension as DONKEY PUNCH reaches its climax, and serves to highlight the abilities of this group of young British actors, who include Ray Winstone’s daughter (Jaime Winstone) among their number.
