Review of Deep Rising (1998) by Christopher B — 24 Mar 2009
Treat Williams is the perfect Ash-like hero (from the Evil Dead Trilogy) mugging for the camera and delivering lines like, "Geez Loise lady, give a guy a heart attack why don't cha?". I haven't heard a better line of dialogue than this since "Rosebud".
Seriously, great action, great gore, great hero and a fantastic villain (check out his death scream). From the very beginning you can see that Stephen Sommers has his heart in the right place as Treat Williams boat plows through the ocean as "action" music pounds on the soundtrack (not innovative, but done very tongue in cheek) and when the Nick Nolte-looking dude toasts the rich on the luxury liner's doomed voyage.
The wackiest movie I have seen since Raimi was pumpin' em out.
