The Boat (2022) User Reviews

This Boat Should Have Never Left the Dock

[Silicone54 · 1/10 · 21 December 2023]

3 couples go on boating excursion. After a hard night of partying they wake up to find themselves adrift at sea and robbed of their essentials. They get a radio call from the robber pirate who proceeds to toy with them. He exposes their money issues and cheating and other past secrets to everyone in the group.

At this point in the movie is still watchable but once the pirate makes his appearance the story goes haywire. The audience is made aware of the connection the pirate has with each of the 3 men. It is apparent he is out for revenge.

The story falls apart even more when the men so quickly turn on each other over the seemingly trivial revelations. When they so desperately need each other now they abandon their bonds. The women also react irrationally to the news. The resulting conclusion is that these people are the weakest humans to ever walk on this planet. No one has any survival instincts or any backbone.

The pirate's revenge plot is also blandly developed so you just really don't buy the anger and blood thirst. They threw in a bunch of flashbacks to show his conversion from a young innocent boy to maniacal killer. Its just not convincing enough. This movie is plain bad and forgettable. Do Not Watch!

so thrill and hot to death ^^

This movie is fantastic thriller and death trip by killing boat what an amazing thriller it is... and even though it's a Italian movie with Italian language I have not watched Italian movie before yet When I watched it I seems to be feeled where am I with horrible situation and killing each other and looking for who is the main killer and why someone was killed by whom Some scenes was tough and zam to me but it give to me feeing cool as like in the ocean or river in pacific Island ocean any way, I recommend to you to watch this movie when you have some time to watch for killing time movie with your friend.

Different and Rewarding.

Different and Rewarding.

Don't expect to see any ghost apparition or monster jumping out of the darkness.

No this movie will play with your mind, and your nerves, without showing you anything, and this is what good movie are about: make your imagination working.

Simple but efficient story line, good acting, nice sound effect.

The difference of atmosphere between the infinity of the ocean and the small boat, makes you unsettle. Enjoy!

Any experienced Sailor would love this movie.

As a sailor myself I enjoyed this movie as understood every move the solo actor was doing.

It's clever, very clever and anyone who owns a sailboat should watch this.

Gripping stuff that kept me glued to the end. A genre film true and true.

Great acting by Joe Azzopardi , what a star! Would love to see in something else.

Not a single dull second in it.

Not a single dull second in it.

One of the best movies I've seen in the past year.

Suspenseful not sure what i liked about it but it kept me watching I found myself twisting and turning in my chair as if my animation would help the sailor with his struggles.

I even had a few OH MY GOSH out loud moments.

There was also some cringing going on.

The Boat isn't just a good watch, it's an experience.

This movie had me very apprehensive. At one point, I almost turned the movie off because of my own claustrophobia.

However, I am the proud owner of this movie because it was intriguing, interesting, suspenseful...all the things I love in a movie.

Very good suspense.

As a sailor myself, this movie was especially interesting. Original plot and kept us in suspense.

Definitely worth watchingThe ending leaves us hanging though.

Definitely worth watching.

Simple, fascinating and really well made.

Simple, fascinating and really well made.

You need to strongly engage with the character in this, and you will be rewarded.

You wont be spoon-fed information you desire.

You need to figure it out yourself and engage imagination.

It's not a puzzle film but will bring up lots of curiosity.

Well done for doing something different.

Like thriller movies, the situation suddenly changes in peaceful scenes. It's totally unpredictable and every time I missed my expectations.

Also, the relationship between the characters changes in an instant, leading to a catastrophe, which is why I can't take my eyes off the movie.

Intelligent, original and intriguing

Intelligent, original and intriguing A simple plot which nevertheless keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Just where is this film going?!

Superb performance by the only cast member (unless you include the boat itself!) and brilliantly directed.

But it still delivers an equally strong and memorable piece of cinema. One of the best films I've seen in years I don't normally write reviews but thought this was worth one.

I found the film to be a lot better then I was expecting.

Considering it's about a man who comes across a boat and 99% of the film is set on or around the boat i wasn't expecting it to be very interesting but thought I would give it ago.

Oh how I was wrong the film kept me engrossed to entire 90 minutes I found it to be much more intense and exciting then I would have ever expected. I highly recommend 9 stars.

Intense

You want a thriller or a movie that makes you think even after it's over, check this out.

A movie with one character can be difficult to pull off but this one is done so well.

The acting was believable and you really felt his fear and frustration.

There are some very tense and claustrophobic moments and they were filmed perfectly.

I literally felt myself there lost at sea and those moments of pain, confusion and delusion had me at the edge of my seat.

Put it this way, I watched this movie at 02:00 am and still had my eye's wide open.

The script is rare and the actor did justice to his role.

What I liked most were the camerawork, background music and scenery out in the lost wild sea.

If you're a fan of survival movies, this one is for you.
