Warning: Spoilers
From director Phillip Noyce comes this Australian/American thriller "Dead Calm". The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout with taught direction and solid performances from its three cast members.

Sam Neill (who is especially strong) and Nicole Kidman are very good as the young couple who are taking time on their yacht to recover from the devastating loss of their young son in a car accident. Meanwhile Billy Zane, as the psychotic they rescue from a sinking schooner, is at times quite frightening, and always competent. Highly recommended for thrill seekers!
