Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Robert Clarke Very slow "thriller" about a sea scavenger (Bratt) who along with his seemingly naive girlfriend finds the wreck of a luxury yacht and raids it for the very sort after contents. Unfortunately he is tracked down by another islands-man (Assante) and his "femme fatale" wife who demand a share of the profits, and then its all a question of trust - or lack of it. Based on a story by Ernest Hemmingway, there really doesn't seem to be enough to keep you interested for the best part of an hour and forty mins, all in all though its worth a look but certainly not one to watch over and over and the "twist" at the end is predictable, yet doesn't really add up.Bratt is quite good and Avital is cute - while the stunning scenery is most definitely a plus point.

jeroenberndsen1 It would be a waste of my time to talk very long about this movie and i think a waste of yours too.barely one hundred votes to this movie and i can figure why. personally I just wanted to see what others think about this movie after a wasted evening on this pic.Slow, stereotype actors (sorry bratt and assante), cliches, boring... I just rated it 5/10 but.... even that is too high!4/10

gazineo-1 Tiresome and poor adaptation of a Hemingway novel puts a sea adventurer (Bratt) in a search for money and gold stored in a wrecked luxurious yacht. He teams up with another sea scavenger (Assante), a sweet and aparently näive young woman (Avital)and the "femme fatale" Janine (Girard). The movie is slow until the end and even the twist at the ending does not save the peasant treatment gives by the director. Bratt made a good work.I give this a 4 (four).

rambow Based upon the jacket's comments from critics and the SunDance recommendation I rented the DVD. About fifteen minutes in I thought I was wrong about the movie. It looked like a dog. But I kept with it and about forty minutes in it was all coming together. The beautiful scenery, the plot and the action. A good surprise at the end too. The behind the scenes on the DVD aren't worth talking about, much less watching, but the movie is.
