I love movies with small casts and isolated settings, with VOYAGE being the among the best of such. This is like Roman Polanski's KNIFE IN THE WATER, only this time we have great actors all around.Hauer is his usual great subtle acting machine. His face seems to have a thousand muscles and he can say more with an expression than the boring interchangeable "stars" of today can in an entire career.And Eric Roberts is the perfect opposition for Our Boy Rutger with an incredible heel performance. I'll never forget when he says to Hauer with sinister glee "I'll turn your head around backwards!"Why aren't the exceptional Roberts and greatest living actor Hauer more popular? Because in order to be popular one has to be mediocre.

A low budget "Dead Calm"... big boat, nasty things happening aboard.No real novelty to the plot, but quite an enjoyable film to watch regardless.Rutger does not look at his best.

While by no means a truly awful movie, this really has little to recommend - the cast do a reasonable job with a poor script, some of the action builds a little dramatic tension but the plot is hopelessly unoriginal, has some big old holes in it and the animosity built up between the two couples is totally unjustified by events in the first half. Roberts' villain is as hammy as they come - check the scene where, to everyone's obvious disgust, he savours (shock! horror!) a cigarette after a dramatic macho race scene. There's also some implausible explanation of plot devices - Hauer suddenly sees through the whole dastardly plot building around him in a truly laughable moment. OK, but for fans of the stars only.

This movie resembles Dead Calm featuring Nicole Kidman and Sam Neill in more than one aspect, but does not have the the chilling nerve and fine acting as the mentioned film. Eric Roberts is acting poorly as usual(is he really Julias brother?), and Rutger Hauer is so out of shape that he does not take off his t-shirt when he takes a swim. It is a mediocre thriller that can help you kill half and hour.
