film: Dead Calm (Nicole Kidman)
Poll pls?
I just caught this 1989 movie on cable again tonight and I nearly wet myself from the suspense. I saw it a couple of times in the past and it still manages to grip me as if I am watching it for the first time. It's an ingenious psychological thriller in the grand Hitchcock tradition, with a very simple premise.
In a role that catapulted her to international stardom, Nicole Kidman plays a young wife who's joined her husband (Sam Neill) on a yachting trip to recover from the tragic death of their son. Far out to sea, they encounter a sinking ship with one survivor (Billy Zane, ten years before Titanic), but inviting him aboard turns out to be a very bad mistake. While Neill attempts to salvage the sinking boat, Kidman is fighting for her life against the psychotic Zane--a villain so creepy that you eagerly look forward to his demise. (trivia: it would be ten years before he would portray that gimp in Titanic
)
Director Philip Noyce ("U2: Rattle & Hum") happens to be one of Australia's most gifted actors. I love his style and this movie showcases his talent to the fullest.
If you're looking for an intense intelligent thriller, produced at half the costs associated with a major Hollywood movie yet offering so much more, youve found it.
Anybody else love this movie?Im still jittery up to now its that good
