The Crew

The description of the movie makes it sound like it is going to be good. About three minutes into it, you realize that the person who wrote it must have been watching something else. I have seen bad movies in my time, but this is the cherry on top. I would like to write about the plot, however, there isn't one! But I will try.

***No Spoilers Here*** There is nothing to spoil.

Plot: People on a boat that don't like each other very much are out "joy" riding. They pick up a couple of people whose boat is on fire. One is Jeremy Sisto (Tim). He has boobs because he is a transvestite, I think, and all he does is have arguments with his boyfriend over the phone. The other characters don't really do anything but have lines to say. Even Viggo Mortensen can't get me interested. Something might happen in the end (I highly doubt it) but I didn't watch long enough to find out.

If I had known this was an independent film I would not have bothered. I have watched many independent films and I can't think of one I ever liked so I stopped watching them.

Please don't waste your time! A root canal is less painful!!

Well...OK..there is a decent stereo score too but the plot, if you can call it that is beyond ridiculous. Characters are totally unsympathetic to the extent that they are defined at all and no one in the movie is at all likeable. Everyone deserved the situation they found themselves in as far as I was concerned.

There is some great nautical photography and scenery in the tropics however. All of the action takes place on boats, in the ocean or on beaches.

4 friends on a boat ride. Another boat burns up. The 4 friends pick up the 2 passengers on the burned up boat. Sounds cool? Well, the things is that the 2 (man and girl or?) The man has breast!, and decides to kidnap the 4 friends so they´d drive him to where he wants. He also talks on the phone sometimes with his boyfriend, they argue and stuff. Very strange and weird. Grade: 3/10

As a collector of the works of Jeremy Sisto, this one had me working to obtain it.

As usual, Sisto did not disappoint. His "Tim" was brought to life with flair, depth, and quality, especially for a guy as young as he was at the time.

An interesting plot, it left me fairly depressed and sad by the end. Not your typical "Hollywood" ending by any measure. And I may never be able to see Mortensen the same again - he brought a real essence of brutality to his character.

Good movie without that feel in the indy, but just as searching and deep as most independent films.

The ONLY upside is that it was a free on demand cable movie. And ... in that regard it's "worth the price of admission". LOL. Seriously, not at all.

It's hard to gauge what exactly was worst:

• the plot (if one can say that it HAD one at all)

• the acting (gosh-aweful at best), especially that of Bill (Donal Logue)

As my girlfriend just summarized - this is officially "time that I am not getting back".

This is easily one of the worst movies ever. Please save yourself the wasted time. We were about halfway through when it became pretty apparent that this was "just one really bad movie" and looked for reviews.
