Dead Calm
1989
**
Director: Phillip Noyce
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill, Billy Zane, Rod Mullinar, Joshua Tilden
An Australian thriller about a couple whose sailing trip turns into a nightmare. The film has a promising start but its contrived and illogical twists makes you increasingly angry. Nicole Kidman is good in her breakthrough role. Heavily influenced by Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water.
