Negative Positive
Title: Shipboard drivel
Review: Why, oh why weren't Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on this ship? It would have struck that tanker near the end, gone down and mercifully spared us from "Speed 2" and its gosh-awful acting, plot and execution. Sandra Bullock, who specializes as America's favorite girl-next-door actress, reprises her role as an unwitting hostage, this time aboard a cruise ship hijacked by Willem Dafoe (whose talent is wasted here). Jason Patric delivers his usual one-note performance, and the action is pallid and predictable. This film made "The Love Boat" series look like high seas adventure. At least that show had characters you were supposed to laugh at.
