Synopsis: When a rogue wave capsizes a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives. Preferring to test the odds alone, career gambler Dylan Johns (Josh Lucas) ignores captain's orders to wait below for possible rescue and sets out to find his own way to safety. What begins as a solo mission soon draws others, as Dylan is followed by a desperate father searching for his daughter and her fiancee - a young couple who hours before couldn't summon the courage to tell him they were engaged and now face much graver challenges. Along the way they are joined by a single mother and her wise-beyond-his-years son, an anxious stowaway and a despondent fellow passenger who boarded the ship not sure he wanted to live but now knows he doesn't want to die. Determined to fight their way to the surface, the group sets off through the disorienting maze of twisted steel in the upside-down wreckage. As the unstable vessel rapidly fills with water each must draw on skills and strengths they didn't even know they possessed, fighting against time for their own survival and for each other.

My Review: The movie begins with much serenity as the whole luxury cruiser is portrayed from end to end. Equipped with almost everything, this massive ship is every sailor's dream come true. Everything's going all so well when a huge wave of mammoth proportions hits the ship with such immense force that it topples upside down like a paper boat. And the story doesn't drag for even a second. The accident scenes are very well done and so is the gore. Add to that the spectacular special effects and this 100 minute flick is a fully worthy watch!
