Deep Rising (DVD)

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw Deep Rising, I have to admit it was with mixed expectations. On the one hand is was directed by Stephen Sommers, the creator of the nineties smash hit the Mummy, but with a tagline like 'full scream ahead,' I found it difficult to get my hopes up. However, I pleased to say that for once my pessimism was proved to be unfounded. Deep Rising takes place upon a luxury cruise liner called the Argonautica, a gargantuan corporate haven for the upper crust to drink, gamble, dance, and generally talk about how great it is to be rich. Meanwhile John Finnegan and his motley crew of reluctant mercenaries are closing in, accompanied by a group of ...  Read the complete review

Deep Rising is an action/horror film directed by Stephen Sommers, who would later go on to direct "The Mummy" and "Van Helsing". It stars B-movie legend Treat Williams and Famke Janssen and Djimon Hounsou, who are both a lot more well known now.

So Finnegan, along with his friends, his clients, and Trillian (Janssen), a con ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
