The Crew

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.

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

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.

From the start of the movie it seemed as though something exciting was going to happen and then just as you completely lost interest in the bad script and bad acting (especially the actor who plays Phil)the "Crew" saves 2 people from a burning boat. From that point you are supposed to like the crew and hate the 2 people and then later on feel sorry for and like the 2 people and hate Phil. That is what is supposed to happen, but I found myself not carng about any of them or the little plot twists that were being thrown at me, as I waited for a big finish, because I assumed sometihng had to happen. Well I learned that just because not much happened during the movie doesn't mean sometihng will happen at the end. The only sub plot this movie comes close to following through with is the Tim and George sub plot and that never amounts to much.
