Deep Rising (1998)
5/10
monster action movie
8 February 2016
Mercenaries led by Hanover (Wes Studi) hire John Finnegan (Treat Williams)'s boat whose motto is "When the cash is there, we do not care." Finnegan finds out that they're carrying torpedoes and they are tracking a luxury liner. The cruise ship Argonautica is on her maiden voyage which is owned by Simon Canton (Anthony Heald). Trillian (Famke Janssen) is a thief looking to make a score. The ship is attacked by some unknown force from below. By the time Hanover and his men board the ship, it seems to be empty with blood everywhere.

It's a monster movie. The problem is that I don't care about most of these characters so I couldn't care less when one of them bites it. It's got some monster fun and shoot them up fun. It's a slick bigger budget action monster B-movie. However, it all feels a little pointless.
