“Awful acting from everyone, the actors seemed very uninspired (perhaps with the exception of Susan Sullivan as Mom, with an on-screen time of maybe 5 minutes).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe u0026#39;effectsu0026#39; were even worse: If you as a want to depict a storm on film, you will have to make sure that the boat involved rocks way more than it would in a small lake with a light breeze, if it is to be at all believable. Which it wasnu0026#39;t.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe soundtrack sounded like bad 80u0026#39;s muzak and was annoyingly present throughout the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe u0026#39;plotu0026#39; was very straightforward, no surprises there – apart from the fact that some of the characters surprised me by being totally out of character.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSteer clear away from this crap.”
