“If youu0026#39;re in the mood for a low-key, pleasant little kid-centric u0026quot;lock-nessu0026quot; monster movie, youu0026#39;ll enjoy this one. I started watching it in the background while it was on a TV movie channel and quickly got interested in it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe basic premise is as follows: A helicopter carrying an important oil-drilling bit has crashed in a remote Canadian lake. The drilling company sends their small-submarine specialist (who brings his son) to recover the item. While there, the boy encounters an elusive local resident of the lake. In the midst of all this, a rival drilling company is trying to sabotage the recovery efforts … and the story progresses from there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s nothing really special about the plot and the kid-centric aspect can be a potential turn-off for many adult viewers. However, in this case, the story is well done and the characters are well acted and interesting – so it was worth the time. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs long as youu0026#39;re expectations are for a low-key but well done little movie, youu0026#39;ll have a pleasant time.”
