yet another die hard straight to video rip off with cardboard villains how many more of these god awful cheaply ( and badly ) make rip off of the more popular action movie of the late 1980 and early 1990 be there still lurk out there . for the record ( not that you will care really ) this one be yet another blatant rip off of a combination of die hard and under siege and speed 2 complete with a full complement of clichés and predictability . the non descript villain be the usual selection of cardboard cut out gun tot thug who be dispatch by various mean a the film progress and the hero naturally be an ex cop or something that have family and attitude problem and of course he bring along to the party not only the usual emotional baggage but also a match piece of eye candy and his annoy son . the supposed luxury cruise liner that be run between florida and mexico be carefully describe a a cross between a liner and a ferry this go someway to explain how come they appear to be lark around on a rusty cross channel ferry in new zealand . the acting be as wooden a the deck and the script woeful and the one liner predictable and the villain utterly inept and the plot have hole in it you could sail a boat through . there seem to be a never end tide of this sort of rip off straight to video rubbish pollute the late night slot of television and the dvd bargain bin of supermarket everywhere ( although even this film be so bad it have yet to see a dvd release yet but give it time . ) be there any chance of something at least half decently make and semi believable and most important original . no and i thought not .
