      Jeff M Not to be confused with the Shailene Woodley theatrical film from a couple years ago, this early 90s TV movie feels like it resulted from the popularity of an Australian movie from 1989 called DEAD CALM starring Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill. While not exactly alike, there are definite similarities. Sadly, this one pales in comparison. It is a rather unpleasant experience with scenes obviously meant for tension and suspense that instead come across as merely gratuitous - thankfully the more gruesome moments take place offscreen. To what degree this movie works is thanks to the underrated acting chops of Kate Jackson. I've always felt she was an actress just a project or two away from great things. (She was the first choice for Meryl Streep's role in KRAMER VS KRAMER, but the producers of CHARLIE'S ANGELS wouldn't let her out of her contract.) She carries the bulk of this project on her shoulders, and one can't help but wish she was in a better movie with better performances - a young actress named Kelly Rowan is absolutely dreadful as the female antagonist. It's an instantly forgettable movie that sinks almost as badly as the Titanic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Nice to see the women being the strong ones.....even though one was demented! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not entirely good, could of bee worse. It drags on for a bit, but it's pretty suspenseful. The antagonist are to awful to be good, and the plot is a bit thin. The ending is good at least. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Melodramatic at times, but altogether enjoyable 'Dead Calm' (1989) thriller. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Pack a sleepingbag and pillow to help you finish off this snoozefest. A waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Another good flick that I enjoyed watching... Quite suspenceful, energetic at times, and it definitly keeps you interested... Well performed by all cast members... A must see for all Kate fans... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Drew Voros Variety Patrick Lussier's sharp editing and Rob McLachian's crisp camerawork add punch from beginning to end, drawing in viewers to a thriller where there are no extras, scene changes or variance of any kind. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
