Worth a watch!

Even tho its a TV movie its quite good. If you like Dead Calm then you will like this one. Since there are not many boat movies like it. Hard to find on DVD and not available on Blu-ray. Most likely will not see on Netflix. Anyway back to the movie. It does have a good story and kept me interested. I love boats and sailing and this kinda thing does happen around the world, probably more then we know. I'm lucky since I have 2 copies of this movie!

Disappointing

Adrift really ought to sail away and never return. When I first watched this a few years ago now, I thought to myself how can a well known Hollywood actress like Kate Jackson even contemplate accepting a role in such drivel? The suspense IS there in Adrift, and we can certainly believe that we do not know what is going to happen, no matter how hard we try and guess, but the cheap and 'cheerful' image Adrift gives out lets the side down. This film is basically a low budgeted version of the 1988 thriller Dead Calm, but the sense of loneliness and eeriness in that film never materialises in Adrift, and viewers will always realise the limit in budget and the weak unpretentious script.

Definitely not as creepy a boat movie as...

Voyage from 1993 with Rutger Hauer, Eric Roberts and Connie Nielsen, And the Sea Will Tell with Rachel Ward and Richard Crenna from 1991, both of which I prefer over Dead Calm as a few here have already mentioned here. I very much like Bruce Greenwood, which is why I sat through this movie in the first place but am certainly disappointed. I would definitely check out the first two movies as mentioned, especially And the Sea Will Tell (from the true crime story written by the lawyer, Vincent Bugliosi, who actually defended the woman in the story years ago. I remember it being a bit hit when it played on television years ago).

Shock Horror! A good Kate Jackson Movie

This is actually an okay little thriller very much in a Dead Calm vein. There's some needless sub-plot about extra-marital affairs at the start but once the action starts its pretty good.

An above average TV Movie with only a few "Thats just stupid - no-one would do that moments". The craziest being when one of the good-guys is trying to quietly escape but takes time-out on the way to noisily trash the villian's room thus putting the kibosh on the whole thing.

These things withstanding its worth 90 minutes or so of your time.

A good boat movie

This is a similar movie to that of "Dead Calm". There are not many movies with this story line so it was nice to see on TV years ago. The acting and story were good. The movie had some twist and made it really good. This isn't the movie with all the G.I. Computer fake stuff! It was shot in New Zealand. Give it a chance if you like boat movies! I got it on DVD!
