Plot
Summary: John Ingram and his wife Rae,
who's recovering from an auto accident are on their
sailboat, becalmed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
Their leisurely isolation is interrupted by Hughie,
the lone survivor of a sinking black schooner they
spot one morning. Hughie's story doesn't quite jibe,
so John boards the schooner to investigate, where
he discovers the real truth. When Hughie wakes and
realizes where John is, he takes control of the Ingram
yacht from Rae, and motors off towards the horizon.
Can Rae regain control of the boat and find John before
the schooner sinks?
Comments:
Excellent
thriller. I really felt in suspense throughout Dead
Calm. Sam Neill as the everyman and Nicole Kidman
as his recovering wife were wholly believable as grieving
parents taking a vacation to move past their tragedies.
Billy Zane as the disturbed third wheel (see Titanic,
Head Above Water) in the relationship was also very
effective in his role. The suspense builds throughout
and leads to a very memorable climax. Recommended,
8/10.
