Interesting, gorey and reasonably well choreographed start suggested it could be a quality film. This film was on the whole, dull, with some parts that may make you jump when you are just falling asleep. The plot involves a salvage crew setting out to the Bering Sea to salvage a ship which had been abandoned for 40 years in mysterious circumstances. After colliding with the ship they board it and it becomes more apparent why the ship was abandoned. Each member of the salvage team is subject to a "strange" encounter. After finding a large amount of gold bars they have to decide whether to take the gold or the ship for salvage. From then on things become more and more sinister. In summary this is how it goes: Salvage crew arrive, disaster happens and they are stranded. Then, not much happens, then not much more happens, then the crew all get killed, bar one, and nothing more happens. Then, a twist, and nothing much happens and finally nothing much happens until an ambulance picks up the survivor from the "rescue ship" at the dockside. The cast were all unknown to me and will probably stay that way due to their "drama school" performances. The featurettes on the DVD were mildly interesting but not very detailed. Cast: Gabriel Byrne, Julianna Margulies, Ron Eldard, Desmond Harrington, Isaiah Washington, Alex Dimitriades, Karl Urban Emily Browning, Francesca Rettondini

A routine salvage operation turns into a hellish nightmare for Murphy (Gabriel Byrne) and ... more
his crew (Julianna Marguilies, Ron Eldard and Isaiah Washington). Shockingly gory and chilling events unfold on board an abandoned luxury liner as the team come f...
Advantages: You can laugh at your 'I'll look after you' boyfriend when he jumps at the first sign of anything gruesome. Disadvantages: Its winter, they're in Arctic waters, they're in the middle of the ocean, yet this silly girl seems happy waltzing around in a little t-shirt rather than a jumper. Hmm.
