I remember watching Voyage about 1997, it was on at 1 am on a Thursday morning I believe, and given that I had watched and enjoyed 'Dead Calm' a couple of years earlier, this late night copy of it seemed a watchable fare! Yes I did guess the entire plot after 5 minutes, but I knew it would be entertaining, and even a pretty good thriller to someone who hadn't seen Dead Calm! It was good stuff for a TV movie, nice to see Karen Allen again. and Eric Roberts puts in his greatest performance (until 2013's 'A Talking Cat). The plot has some interesting twists and the locations are scenic, but lets not forget that this film was deliberately made to be a Dead Calm rip off, so just enjoy it and stop grumbling!

Tepid at best. The story is so cliched that within the first 15 minutes I was able to guess everything that was going to happen in the movie. It held no surprises for me.And...let's talk about the miscasting. Rutger Hauer was obviously middle-aged, and it's blindingly obvious that Roberts is at least a decade younger, and yet we're supposed to believe they're high school classmates? Give me a break! That sort of sloppiness is inexcusable.Another thing that really offended me was how they made Roberts' wife bisexual. It had absolutely nothing to do with the plot or the story; it was just there to increase the "ick" factor and make people go "ewwwww!" I hate that sort of thing with a passion. It's a cheap tactic, one that I think we all should just bury and forget.There could have been a lot more tension in this, but the story's predictability hampers any suspense. Also, the fact that they regularly go ashore robs the plot of any of the claustrophobia that marked DEAD CALM.I found this film memorable only because it was so bad. A trite story, so-so acting (and Hauer looks terrible!), and bad writing and direction make this a loser.

Voyage is a somewhat underrated film. It stars Rutger Hauer and Karen Allen as a couple preparing to enjoy a year-long voyage on their yacht. Unfortunately they are joined by another couple who aren't quite what they appear. Eric Roberts marvelously plays the antagonist. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. I watched another version of this story with Kate Jackson. It just reiterated to me how good a film this is. It's good! Honest!

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.
