KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

movieman_kev During a tropical storm, an assortment of badly written crew characters must deal with the rough weather as well as a mysterious creature who finds itself aboard the rig. Whenever 4 or more writers work on the same movie script, it's usually not a great sign (if said film is an anthology that rule doesn't apply, but this is not the case here) The plot is trite, the characters somehow cliché and bland at the same time, and the film as a whole is not nearly entertaining enough to make the huge detriments ignorable. An extremely dreary mess, avoid it.My Grade: D-Eye Candy: Carman Perez gets topless

MrGKB ...and whatever precious fluids, bodily or otherwise, that went into this shoddy piece of make-work cinema (and I use the term loosely, given that it was obviously shot on Hi-Def video and went straight to Shlockbuster and whatever other outlets were foolish enough to carry it). It's a snooze of a creature-feature (with a monster that's, at best, an upscale Halloween costume) with a script likely written in haste on scrap paper, indifferent acting (these people had to know they were in a pile of dreck, and William "The Rock" Forsythe should be slapped for slumming; Art "Field of Dreams" LaFleur can at least be forgiven for needing work), horrendously awful direction, static, boring camera-work. A quick scan of the credits reveals the sad truth that "The Rig" is a vanity piece, a "family affair" designed to spotlight the son of the producer and the co-screen-meddler, whose turn as a Colin Hanks wannabe is cheapened even further by his doubling as the critter. The "original" screenplay by one of the ostensible leads isn't; it's totally derivative, unexciting, and outright stupid. The only thing actually "original" is that it was shot on a real deep-sea drilling rig. Yay! I honestly have no idea why I've already wasted so many words on this bottom-of-the-barrel nonsense. Whatever budget "The Rig" had sank right to the bottom of the ocean, as will this risible production in the sea of video entertainment. Back to the drawing board with all of you, and please don't show your faces again until you've got something worthwhile in hand.IMDbers, you've been warned. This is fast-forward crap of the lowest order.

JimCulbert You know the boring parts of a porn that you just fast forward through until the "actors" are done talking? Well that is this entire movie! I'm talking about bad lighting, awful dialog, terrible editing (scenes are drawn out way too long, with awkward moments of nothing going on), and unforgivable monster attacks that show too little of a monster that looks like it was made in a middle school art class. I can't believe the cast and crew were even able to see this thing through to completion. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 is for the brave men and women who selfishly destroyed their reputations for the sake of not giving up on something you started. One star movies are filmed with a cell phone in a junk yard, at least they got someone to rent them an oil rig.

Tejaswy Nalam The people who have written the reviews with more than one star are in someway associated with the movie.Such a god-awful mess of a movie this is! Someone said that the plot was from a Kremlin Vault. They were wrong. The plot, the direction, the acting, the music, the everything will make something from the deepest recesses of Kremlin look fresh as photo-ready basket of assorted fruit.The producer would have been better off had he invested in a pile of garbage trying to run for president.The only good thing about the movie is its poster.Giving a wide berth to this movie isn't going to help, you should actually miss the whole train.
