The Crew

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.

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!!

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

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.

I like this movie. It is a good drama with intense and thrilling emotions, though it is not an action movie. Maybe the acting could have been better, but still the dialog works very well. Also the sometimes dramatic photo works very well in enhancing the scenes without getting disturbing.

The plot is a boat trip that does not end as it was intended. The characters (the "crew") have different intentions with their life, but their reasons might not be the best and so it leads them astray and sometimes on colliding courses. For some the smog finally lifts while others stay helplessly lost.
