Movie Connections:

Version of Split Second: Tragedy at Sea (2005) (TV)

I thought it was a good, intense movie with good acting.

Two Came Back is about teenagers who set off to deliver a 60-foot ship to its buyer and get caught in a storm.

This movie is based on a true story (I know 'cos I've read it), and the plot progresses very well. A few of the characters make personality changes subtle and believable, as the mood tensed up.

I didn't think too much of the camera-work though. Sometimes it looked more like a documentary than a movie, with choppy scenes and erratic moves.

I saw it because of Jonathan Brandis, but the movie's really more about Melissa Joan Hart's character. Good movie, and it's got a 7/10 from me.
