Review of Dead Calm (1989) by Richard M — 24 May 2011
Dead calm is really a thriller on the sea.. John (Sam neil), and Rae (Nicole Kidman).
Decide to go on a voyage to escape the past surrounding their little boys death.
It was suppose to be a peaceful sailing trip until Hughie played by Billy Zane, abandons his ship and paddles over to their yaught. This is where the movie really begins.. As it turns out, Hughie is a psychopath, and tricks John into leaving his yaught to take a look at the one he abandoned. There is a lot of suspense, a some great scenes, and memorable performances by all three actors. I think it is Both Nicole's and Billy's best roles.
There is nothing Calm about this ride.
