Well...OK..there is a decent stereo score too but the plot, if you can call it that is beyond ridiculous. Characters are totally unsympathetic to the extent that they are defined at all and no one in the movie is at all likeable. Everyone deserved the situation they found themselves in as far as I was concerned.

There is some great nautical photography and scenery in the tropics however. All of the action takes place on boats, in the ocean or on beaches.

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot made no sense and the character's actions where ridiculous. I am so mad at my self for staying up and watching this train wreck! Do not waist the 100 minutes on this movie, life is way too short!

From the start of the movie it seemed as though something exciting was going to happen and then just as you completely lost interest in the bad script and bad acting (especially the actor who plays Phil)the "Crew" saves 2 people from a burning boat. From that point you are supposed to like the crew and hate the 2 people and then later on feel sorry for and like the 2 people and hate Phil. That is what is supposed to happen, but I found myself not carng about any of them or the little plot twists that were being thrown at me, as I waited for a big finish, because I assumed sometihng had to happen. Well I learned that just because not much happened during the movie doesn't mean sometihng will happen at the end. The only sub plot this movie comes close to following through with is the Tim and George sub plot and that never amounts to much.

The ONLY upside is that it was a free on demand cable movie. And ... in that regard it's "worth the price of admission". LOL. Seriously, not at all.

It's hard to gauge what exactly was worst:

• the plot (if one can say that it HAD one at all)

• the acting (gosh-aweful at best), especially that of Bill (Donal Logue)

As my girlfriend just summarized - this is officially "time that I am not getting back".

This is easily one of the worst movies ever. Please save yourself the wasted time. We were about halfway through when it became pretty apparent that this was "just one really bad movie" and looked for reviews.

I thought this could turn out to be an interesting film when I first heard the plot. As often though, it turned out to be really boring - a boring story delivered by boring actors. Don´t waste your time on this one.

As a collector of the works of Jeremy Sisto, this one had me working to obtain it.

As usual, Sisto did not disappoint. His "Tim" was brought to life with flair, depth, and quality, especially for a guy as young as he was at the time.

An interesting plot, it left me fairly depressed and sad by the end. Not your typical "Hollywood" ending by any measure. And I may never be able to see Mortensen the same again - he brought a real essence of brutality to his character.

Good movie without that feel in the indy, but just as searching and deep as most independent films.

This is a strange, out of the everyday but refreshing look at what happens when people who would definitely clash if they are forcibly brought together are brought together. Phillip (Viggo Mortensen, in a vicious, completely believable performance!!!) owns a beautiful white yacht, and is obviously extremely pleased with himself. How he got the means to get this pretty white boat is made obvious quite early on in the movie. The story begins when he invites sister Jennifer (Pamela Gidley), her husband Bill (Donal Logue), musician buddy Alex (John Philbin) and new "friend" Catherine Driftwood (Sam Jenkins) to join him on a cruise of the Carribean. The story starts a little slowly, but you do pick up on the notion that every one of these people has some little demon in his/her closet as they chatter and argue about marital vows, writers' block, barracuda and the AIDS virus. The story livens up when Bill spots a burning boat on the horizon, with what appears to be "a couple of chicks" in peril on board. Phillip isn't too keen on the idea of picking up total strangers from burning boats, especially if all they're gonna do is mess up his pretty white boat in some way, but Jen, Bill, Catherine and Alex insists it's the right thing to do, and Phil relents. Enter Camilla (Laura Del Sol) an illegal Cuban immigrant and Timothy (Jeremy Sisto) who is not exactly what Phillip would call a "chick" even though he's got breasts and is very womanly in every aspect of his personality. Tim and Phillip clash almost from the first moment, and Phillip gets an unpleasant surprise that might put his future with his pretty white boat in jeopardy. This movie is hard to find, but some videostores may have it. It's a good movie if you are into independent movies with provocative and original subject matter, and the characters are all interesting, even though Mortensen, Logue and Sisto steal the show in a three way tug-of-war for control of the crazy situation.

I like this movie. It is a good drama with intense and thrilling emotions, though it is not an action movie. Maybe the acting could have been better, but still the dialog works very well. Also the sometimes dramatic photo works very well in enhancing the scenes without getting disturbing.

The plot is a boat trip that does not end as it was intended. The characters (the "crew") have different intentions with their life, but their reasons might not be the best and so it leads them astray and sometimes on colliding courses. For some the smog finally lifts while others stay helplessly lost.

The description of the movie makes it sound like it is going to be good. About three minutes into it, you realize that the person who wrote it must have been watching something else. I have seen bad movies in my time, but this is the cherry on top. I would like to write about the plot, however, there isn't one! But I will try.

***No Spoilers Here*** There is nothing to spoil.

Plot: People on a boat that don't like each other very much are out "joy" riding. They pick up a couple of people whose boat is on fire. One is Jeremy Sisto (Tim). He has boobs because he is a transvestite, I think, and all he does is have arguments with his boyfriend over the phone. The other characters don't really do anything but have lines to say. Even Viggo Mortensen can't get me interested. Something might happen in the end (I highly doubt it) but I didn't watch long enough to find out.

If I had known this was an independent film I would not have bothered. I have watched many independent films and I can't think of one I ever liked so I stopped watching them.

Please don't waste your time! A root canal is less painful!!

4 friends on a boat ride. Another boat burns up. The 4 friends pick up the 2 passengers on the burned up boat. Sounds cool? Well, the things is that the 2 (man and girl or?) The man has breast!, and decides to kidnap the 4 friends so they´d drive him to where he wants. He also talks on the phone sometimes with his boyfriend, they argue and stuff. Very strange and weird. Grade: 3/10

I got in about 10 minutes into movie and had to turn it off. The acting is absolutely horrible, the guy that is supposed to be the rock star sounds horrible. I can't believe Viggo's acting is so bad. Horrible horrible movie. Watch if you really want to take a nap.

The opening scene has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie.....at all. What a waste of time. None of it makes any sense....at all. Just don't.

Everyone should have listened to Phil (Mortensen), who was undoubtedly the smartest of them all. Phil only wanted to have a nice day of boating, but a fire upon another boat ruins the day because he's urged to rescue two distressed passengers in need of assistance: one who is an illegal female immigrant, and the other being a sweetie-pie Shemale. But things go wrong for the crew - the sweetie-pie Shemale turns into a gun-totting Shemale, and hijacks the boat because he/she desperately wants to get to a rendezvous point to meet his male lover. Along with the hijacking: the story includes how the crew reacts to their own emotions concerning their life, so other occurrences take place as they argue among themselves about their personal problems. Bill gets drastic because of his frustrations concerning his sorry ass, and cheating wife, and turns his back on his relatives to help the hijackers against his brother-in-law (Mortensen); and from there Phil pits himself against the assholes who are ruining the day by attempting to regain control of his precious boat - which he does do, with a result that creates more of an ordeal. Good movie; it had tension!
