Review of Dead Calm

Dead Calm (1989)
7/10
Extremely suspenseful
22 December 2003
This film is a very good suspense thriller with excellent casting. Nicole Kidman plays Ray Ingram who is a women who just lost her child in a car accident, and is on a a yacht with her husband John, played by Sam Neil. Billy Zane plays the psychotic mass murderer. There were a few flaws such as some scenes of Sam Neil below deck of the sinking boat trying to survive. A little far fetched.

The film was excellent except for the ending. It should have ended when Ray and John cut the rescue dingy lose. The way Billy Zane's character reappears at the ending was phoney and not plausibly.
