      dave j Starring Rob Low as water workman attempting to savor his relationship with his wife, on a free flight for the intention of recovering a supposedly rare statue buried in Greece. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The write up is very misleading - it aint a cruise liner, its a ferry and it aint the sub that ruptures the fuel tanks on the ship, there's a gun battle on the car deck and a truck explodes. I can tolerate dodgy effects and a certain amount of passable, hammy acting but when a story is so poorly put together as this - that's what really lets a film down. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member [b][b][b] [b][size=2]I did not escpect much from this movie.[/size][/b][/b][/b][/b] [b]and the plot was a bit simpel[/b], [b]even so the effects was surprisingly well made. And the movie isn't borring. So as a TV movie it's ok. But don't buy it for your DVD collection. [/b] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
