Intrepid

Many people pick up a film and expect to watch good actors reading a good script. In this movie you will find neither. What you will find is an excellent B-Movie. It has all the good things about any B-movie, action, water, and it doesnt make much sense. If you are looking for some descent action without having to pay attention to the story then this film is perfect.

A cruise ship carrying naval agents and the daughter of a VIP overturns in the wake of a nuclear blast.

The context, the plot and story of the film are very good, but I tell you that it isn't an amazing movie with spectacular special effects. If you are expecting a masterpiece, "Intrepid" isn't your best option.

A little more suspense and greater investment in special effects would greatly improve the quality of the film. Although I don't agree with the average score given by others IMDb users (on the day of this review it is 3.4).

The outcome is quite predictable. You know who the heroes and villains are most of the time. I think this point took some of the fun out of the film.

The cast isn't formed by Hollywood stars, but the performance is quite good!

The filmed is ok. I recommend (7/10).

I watched this film on cable whilst on holiday, and immediately regretted spending a valuable 90 minutes of holiday time on it. The plot was a rehash of every disaster movie ever made

1. Nuke lost & blown up 2. Passenger ship caught in the tidal wave 3. Secret passengers & spies on board 4. Rescue begins whilst being hampered by secret passengers & spies 5. Etc. etc.

Terrible acting, thin plots, truly dreadful special effect. My recommendation would be to spend that 90 mins catching up with old friends, mowing the lawn, washing the car, cleaning the fluff from your belly button - anything except watching this film.

I agree with the other handful of unfortunates who grimly sat through to the end of the movie. The only person missing from the cast of a movie like this is Michael Dudikoff; although had he been listed in the credits then I would have KNOWN not to rent this movie.

It's a shame. Looking at the cast suggested that they could have done better. But I'm not prepared to waste mental energy asking why.

I am surprised that no one has yet to comment on the scenes early on that were taken directly from the TV show: "The Love Boat". People walking up the gangway, people waving good bye etc. There is one scene where you can actually read "Pacific Princess" on the ship while the voice over (supposedly a radio reporter) is calling it the "Intrepid". This quite possibly was the worst movie I have ever seen. If I was not locked in a foreign hotel room on a stormy day with exactly one English Channel, I would have baled. I almost opted to watch soccer in German rather than this. There was not enough alcohol in the mini-bar to take away the pain.
