Harpoon

First, this is not an original movie, you have seen this story a hundred times. Second, there are only three actors and a boat, do not expect more. Last, the script is acceptable but not good, not much suspense or twists. So, overall an OK movie but not great. A better ending could have improve everything.

I didn't have big expectations, but i absolutely loved it. awesome acting skills and wonderfully dark humor. i'm still smiling thinking about it. right up my alley <3

Went in blind as a bat, didn't read the synopsis or even know the fact that it's a comedy. Much to my satisfaction, "Harpoon" turned out to be a neat, smart, pleasantly weird black (horror) comedy.

Lies, schemes, friendships, pride, betrayal and more is explored in "Harpoon", the Director Rob Grant has managed to pack a lot in 82 minutes and one yacht - the result is a constantly entertaining low-budget indie horror with lots of pitch black comedy undertones. Much respect to the trio of actors without whose considerably great performances the movie would be a lesser experience, solid work. A nice & comicly fitting addition was the occasional narrator (voiced by Bret Gelman, Murray from "Stranger Things"), I'd be obliged to give style points for this and more. Even though I'd like to call "Harpoon" a black comedy / thriller, the horror excelled in regards of the well done gore, not excessive amounts of it, but all practical and effective. Aesthetically, the movie is thought-through and utilizes creative camera work and editing.

"Harpoon" packs a few surprises & maybe not a very memorable or thought-provoking, but certainly witty and entertaining story, as well as strong performances and offbeat black comedy vibes. Given the space and resources the filmmakers had to work with, it's an admirable indie horror comedy flick. My rating: 7/10.

This movie isn't winning any Oscars, but if you're a fan of the genre, you should enjoy this movie. 3 main characters were well written / acted. Nothing mind blowing but solid all the way through with enough kinks and character reveals to keep you interested. Not at the top of the list for this genre but refreshingly original and definitely worth a watch.

Three friends - Jonah, Richard and Sasha - go for a cruise on a yacht. Richard and Sasha are in a relationship but Sasha recently cheated on Richard with Jonah...and Richard knows. The friendship is under pressure, making for a tense journey.

This had the look of a B-grade horror/thriller film but it turns out to be slightly better than that. Decent production values and performances lift it above that notch.

However, the plot is a bit implausible: why would anyone agree to go on a cruise with someone who just beat you up and almost killed you after they found out you were sleeping with their girlfriend? Once the fireworks start things get even more perplexing, with many instances of where the whole thing should have ended. But that wouldn't make for a very long movie, so a different plot path is contrived.

This all said, the film is quite intriguing and tension-filled. Ignore some of the silly contrivances and it's reasonably interesting.
