Goofs:
Factual errors: Bow thrusters are primarily used to maneuver a ship away from a dock. Run for several minutes, they could typically rotate a ship by a few degrees. There is no way they could perform the violent turn to avoid the supertanker in the film. Also, bow thruster tubes normally have operable doors on either side to cover the propellers while the ship is moving. This protects the bow thrusters which can be broken if exposed while the ship is traveling at high speed. more

A MISERABLE EXPERIENCE...., 29 July 1999
1/10
Author: D'MORPH from Auckland, New Zealand

After seeing THE best action movie ever (Speed) I went to this expecting more of the same awesome action.

Instead I was physically sea sick! Sat through the entire thing feeling like I was at sea in a teacup (in the middle of a cyclone), made worse by the terrible acting (even Temuera Morrison wasn't up to par in this) and lame 'action scenes'. The baddie wasn't bad enough, his reasons for hijacking the ship was just plain dumb, and Keanu Reeves, where the heck was he?

This whole flick was over-the-top-bad, trying waaaaay too hard to equal Speed One. But putting all the action on a cruise ship - a SMALL cruise ship at that? There was twice as much action in the elevator scene at the beginning of Speed One!

I found the gigantic tanker explosion, the ship crashing through the dock at the end TOO long and boring. By this time, however, the sea sickness had subsided (probably because the ship had already landed!) The ending would've been easier to bare if the characters hadn't said such dumb cliches....

I think I should've stayed at home....
