Review of Dead Calm (1989) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 15 Sep 2010
Dead Calm generates genuine tension, because the story is so simple and the performances are so straightforward. This is not a gimmick film (unless you count the husband's method of escaping from the sinking ship), and Kidman and Zane do generate real, palpable hatred in their scenes together.
