Starring: Fred Brehome
Running Time: 1h 20min
A fascinating story about a millionaire who throws all his money away in his crazed obsession with a sunken yacht is turned into a toned down exploration that creeps along with little interest. This is a story that can be tapped for great drama, suspense and an intriguing look into what drives us. Instead, it loses us by blandly giving us testimonies from people in a structure that strips them of their impact on each other's lives. A few good editing techniques are used but they could have been more effective. The underwater shots are dull. The fading out of the voice overs is mind boggling! Why? We WANT to hear their words! Interesting only because of the real life story and people, not because of the style and direction of the film.
Grade: C
