This movie is a good movie for adults 18 yrs or older? It definitely is not a family film. Its a story about a wife with a small child that is killed in a car accident on the way to pick up her husband from the service. They take a yacht out on the ocean to recover from the loss of their child. They run into a man who's ship is sinking and it also has two dead women aboard? He then strands the husband about this sinking ship with no radio and proceeds to kidnap his yacht and wife? It gets very interesting what the couple has to do to get away from this killer? Nicole Kidman is one of the best actors in whatever she chooses to play in. This is a decent movie well worth the small amount I paid for it? I would recommend it to those who love a good suspense movie? Tammy M.
I decided to buy this movie because I wanted to further my collection and I remember it from years ago when they used to show it all the time on cable. It's a cool suspenseful movie with good acting and even better cinematography the accents kind of got on my nerves but Nicole Kidman is very cool and Sam Neil is adorable. I didn''t buy the sex scene though because I always thought Billy Zane was gay and he doesn't do a very good job of hiding it especially in "Titanic" he seemed like he was more attracted to Leonardo Dicaprio. And it bothered me when the dog got killed because I'm an animal lover but I guess someone has to die right all in all good film
I was thinking of a movie I saw a few months back. Dead Calm, starring Billy Zane, Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill. Seeing a young and pretty Nicole in a very dynamic role with a brutally handsome Billy Zane brings this to one of my favorite movies. Billy was so psychopathic and domineering, Nicole trying to keep her composure during certain suspenseful moments. The tension between them makes you feel as if you are in the same room, breathing in the salty sea air and feeling his sweat dripping on you at every swipe he takes at Nicole. There was a certain fire in both of their eyes and their chemistry worked. She gives herself to him in an effort to mislead him and she looks directly at us during that time. You can almost feel her burning gaze, feeling her revulsion, or is she feeling some sort of excitement as well? Sam Neill, the diligent husband, he has his own troubles out in the water, basically being stranded on a sinking ship, trying desperately to talk to his lady love via a cb radio that is just barely working. You can almost feel the desperation running through you as she desperately tries to talk to him. I feel this is a very fine movie, with excellent characters, the actors were on point and I recommend this movie to anyone who is a Billy Zane, Nicole Kidamn or Sam Neill fan.Vollständige Rezension lesen
I like this movie a lot. In my opinion it is a first rate thriller with an excellent cast. That is why it is disappointing that Warner Bros made such a lousy transfer. All the low light shots are full of grain to the point that it is not only noticeable but is a distraction. Much of the film, the daylight shots, are acceptable. But in today's world of digital and high definition this transfer comes up woefully short. I looked up a disc review and the author warned of problems. But since that is their job to be critical I figured that I wouldn't be so picky. It turns out he was right. This film deserved so much more than it recieved. It's a shame that we have to pass on a film we really like because of quality issues.

This is a great movie with actors who have become more famous since this movie. I have always liked this movie and decided to add it to my collection. It has a lot of drama and a thriller at the same time. With basically three characters, each character provided a lot of insight to their characters. It had a much anticipated ending.

A young Nicole Kidman stars in this 1989 thriller as Rae Ingram. She is the wife of John Ingram (Sam Neill), a captain in the Australian navy, who has been summoned home after the death of their baby son in an automobile wreck. To recover, the couple take a cruise on their private sailing boat. They are very much in love and are coping well despite their loss. And then they sight a dinghy approaching their ship from a schooner far off in the distance. It is a weary male (Billy Zane) with very few belongings. As he begs for fresh water, he explains that he is Hughie Warriner, the sole survivor of the boat where everyone else ate contaminated salmon and died. As Hughie takes a nap, John looks through Hughie's belongings and suspects something different. Taking the dinghy over to the schooner after locking Hughie in one of the bedrooms, he starts looking around. But when he looks up, Sam sees his boat being hijacked by Hughie and heading in a different direction with Rae trying her best to stop it. From there, this movie becomes a thriller to the utmost. It is Nicole Kidman's movie as she tries to figure out how to rescue her husband and stop Hughie's hijacking of the boat. We are sitting on the edge of our seats for the rest of the movie worried about Rae and their little schnauzer dog Ben. It is a wild ride with twists and turns galore. You will have to watch this movie to see how it all unravels. I highly recommend this movie!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I've always loved this movie since I saw Nicole Kidman present herself in this tale of a gripping charismatic performances. Also, I'm a fan of Sam Neil 's since Damien in 'The Omen Trilogy'. Billy Zane played the right amount of crazy for Nicole to play opposite him. I just think this is a powerful movie from start to finish. It only has 4 characters: Nicole, Sam. Billy Zane and the boat.
