Based on a recent true event, this colorless movie tells the tale of a young couple on their honeymoon cruise, but the starring role seems to have gone to Zoe McLellan as the ship's social director. She gets all the close ups and glamor shots, and her glistening cleavage is most on display throughout the film. It makes for an odd and lopsided tale, since she is at the center of every crime-solving scene, an unlikely place for the ship's social director to be. The story concerns the mysterious death of the handsome young husband, played by chiseled Chris Carmac looking as if he had just stepped out of an Abercrombie & Fitch ad, which in fact he has. The former model has little to do but look attractive, which he does in a generic way that evokes countless other male models of recent vintage. His churlish young wife is played by Summer Glau, glowering her way through the honeymoon. Did some Russian playboys kill the husband, or did the wife do it in a fit of jealous rage? We may never know, and this dull movie does little to pique our interest. By the end, you probably won't care who did it. There is no atmosphere, no sense of being at sea or aboard a ship. This is a drab, cheap snooze with an unknown cast set in a variety of colorless rooms and offices. Deadly indeed.

The movie actually positively surprised me. Seeing the rating I expected a lot less than it actually delivered. OK, the movie still isn't exactly the best. The highlight of the movie is Summer Glau, who managed to portray the confused, but still very rationally acting bride excellently. The movie might not be the best, but she did an awesome job, probably saving the whole movie. Besides her, I enjoyed the performance of Zoe McLellan, while Chris Carmack did a very poor job in the movie. It's clear that Lindsey didn't plan what happened on the ship, but after it happened, she tried to get the best out of it. I believe that she actually loved her cheating husband. ***SPOILERS***Quite a few clichés in the movie – bad guys again the ones from Eastern Europe (are there no bad guys in US?), the ship's captain doing everything and anything to keep the affair away from public, an FBI agent on leave but she's immediately in operation (and she's, what a surprise, divorced) and so on. Under the balcony on which everything happened there were no lifeboats. How come that the camera ended in a lifeboat? Did Lindsey hide it there? She would have to be extremely stupid to do so. She'd probably just toss it into the sea, gone forever.But, in the end … quite enjoyable little less than 90 minutes. I've seen a lot of worse movies and rating of 4,6 is too low for my taste. But I admit, that it's definitely not everyone's taste.

This better-than-expected Lifetime movie offers an intriguing story and excellent acting against an exotic backdrop.The Hawaii wedding of Lindsey and Trevor Forrest looks a little too good to be true, so it's no surprise to see it unraveling as soon as the newlyweds board their luxury cruise ship.Though the opening credits say this story isn't based on anyone in particular, it's reminiscent of a notorious case of some years back in which a bridegroom went missing on his honeymoon cruise.Summer Glau and Chris Carmack excel as attractive young people who seem to have it all -- till we notice that Trevor has a gambling and drinking problem that troubles his new wife. One quickly starts to question why these two tied the knot.Then, once Trevor goes missing, watching the shark-like negotiations that Lindsey foists on the ship captain, one begins to understand how Trevor's fortune may have played a role.As convincingly as Glau and Carmack deliver their performances, they're outshone by Zoe McLellen as Gwen, an FBI agent who happens to be vacationing on the ship. She does some excellent investigative work to come up with a plausible theory about how Trevor could have disappeared.This film ends on a chilling note that is exquisitely karmic.

I have seen a few movies and TV-series that stars Summer Glau, Terminator: The Sarah Connor chronicles, Serenity and The Cape. She does a terrific job with all of these character. And even in this low-budget movie she does a good character, but the problem does not seem to be Summer, but rather the male actor she is playing against. He is very 2 dimensional, there is no natural charm, no feelings expressed in the face and he seem to nervous and too rushed to get into character. I understand that this is a very low budget film, but even the directing and script is on par with such a low budget movie. I just wish the male actor was someone else, it would have risen the movie to another level.4/10 because of a good enough script and Summer Glau's performance.
