Deep Rising (DVD) ... Janssen ... / DVD released 27 September, 1999 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL, Widescreen / Following in the reptilian slime trail of Anaconda, this derivative monster movie from early 1998 plays like a cross between Titanic and Tremors, with parts of Aliens tossed in for good measure. Director Stephen Sommers couldn't recognise an original idea if it swallowed him whole--which, by the way, is exactly what happens to a lot of passengers on a luxury ship that is attacked by a giant serpent-like sea creature with a voracious appetite for human flesh. Treat Williams plays the leader of a mercenary crew whose members discover the ravaged ship and wage war on the creature; Famke Janssen joins him as an onboard thief and con artist who just happens to be highly skilled with automatic weapons. Of course, the action grows more intense as the body count rises and along the way the monster is gradually revealed in all of its gruesome glory. A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, Deep Rising arrived in cinemas shortly after another waterlogged thriller, Hard Rain and if nothing else it provides proof that the B-movie monsters of the 1950s are alive and well and as cheesy as ever in the age of digital special effects. --Jeff Shannon

 ... Treat Williams, has the type of humour normally seen in Bruce Willis/Mel Gibson movies. In fact, I would say this is probaly one of the best characters Mr Williams has ever portrayed. He has never been given the chance in the past to take on the lead hero role in any of his other films and it is obvious that he relishes the part totally. The other main star is Famke Janssen, whose only other claim to fame was killing her partners with her hips in Goldeneye. Again, it makes a change to see her in a fun, glamorous ro...more

This is another great film that I like its got great special effects and is worth seeing! Stars: Treat Williams, Famke Janssen. Plot: Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the sea, along comes a gang of really nasty sea monsters to make a meal of you. A-class actors and special effects turn what could have been a piece of B-movie schlock into one of the best horror videos you're likely to see this year. The excellent cast headed by talented Williams and former Bond bad girl Janssen all seem to have a great time playing the victim or potential victims of some exceptionally hungry squid-like-sea monster. Directed at ...

Deep rising is nothing more than a bit of fun - a sci-fi, horror cross over which has no pretensions of greatness but rather has a singular purpose to make its audience has a good time watching it. Set your brin in first gear, sit back and you will do just that - its great fun. A group of mercenaries are heading out to a luxury ocean liner on Finegann's(Treat Williams) boat. He has no clue that they actually intend to hijack the huge pleasure ship but he doesn't care either just as long as he gets paid. Their plans get somewhat scupered when they find the ship has a huge hole in it and the entire passengers seem to be missing. At first they think that ...

This film, to me was very much like a humorous warning to Insurance-scammers everywhere... If you do intend to claim insurance on something you have purposely destroyed yourself, watch out for mutated seaslugs!!!!!!!! Sorry.....but thats exactly what I thought when I watched Deep Rising on BBC1 last night!! The plot is very thin, but the action thicker than an elephant's girth! You have a little boat + crew, carrying a group of mercenaries and (unknown to the crew) a few warheads. There is also a big cruise liner that has lot of rich people on it. The owner of the cruise liner wants to claim insurance on his ship, because it costs too much to run it. As a ...
