A terrorist named Casper
(Ravil Isyanov) is caught by a CIA agent
named Roy Turner (Jay Harrington) while
doing damage in Bulgaria and is sent to
the US in a submarine to be held as
prisoner but he seems to wreck havoc with
the people driving him there and his
henchmen plan to hijack the submarine.
Turner still manages to try and not let
Casper escaping as he tries to watch
every move he makes.
But terror really starts to happen for
the crew in the submarine as they are
attacked by a giant octopus as well as
being grabbed and eaten by this creature.
The people in their submarine also
discovers another submarine that was
crashed down there in 1962.
Along the way is a cruise ship along the
way as people there will soon be
endangered by the bounty hunters and the
killer octopus.
I expected a
cheesy flick with phony effects and
that's just what I got. However, this
film wasn't a bomb and can be fun to
watch if you're in the mood for it.
Mostly the story took place inside a
submarine and people trying to survive a
giant octopus but there are other moments
too yet they weren't as long.
The acting is not
bad but doesn't stand out too much.
However, lead villain Ravil Isyanov
was believeable as a sneaky and violent
madman terrorist in the film.
David Beecroft seems very charming
as a Captain of the submarine and is well
remembered I must say.
Carolyn Lowery was really powerful
with her role as a strong minded and
tough scientist in the film and can
really go places.
Supporting actor Martin McDougall
really knew how to act emoitonally
frightened in the film being a victim in
the submarine.
Captain Jack Shaw
is bloodily shot in the leg and a bit of
blood on some corpses but nothing
gruesome at all.
John Eyres
shows some interesting moments with
co-starring actor Ravil Isyanov
dressed as an old lady as he is
disguising himself to start a terrorist
attack although you can really tell it's
a guy in disguise yet, you know something
deadly is going to happen and it does.
There is a good chase with Ravil
Isyanov running away from lead
actor Jay Harrington and
supporting actor Jeff Nuttall as
the three of them show nice energy with
all this making the action look
interesting with some gun shooting and
explosions.
Harrington really was good by being
emotional when he watches Nuttall
suffocating to death in which he does
very well.
We see some different shots on a mission
plan which very much looks 007 type of
style afterwards as well.
There's a strong dialogue sequence
between Harrington and avil
Isyanov in a submarine together when
Eyres tries to make out that he
rescued him.
There's a humorous dialogue between Carolyn
Lowery and Harrington when
she changes into different clothes and
Harrington feel weak at the knees
for her with his choked words to her.
Although Eyres tried to get a
few laughs out of the viewers it didn't
seem to work.
There are nice battle sequences between Harrington
and Isyanov though as it looks
decently performed.
Supporting actor Martin McDougall
was perfectly directed totally losing it
when their submarine has crashed caused
by the octopus.
There's a nice close up shot on him
kneeling in a corner and putting a gun in
his mouth.
There's a good shot on the cruise ship
and people dancing on the floor and other
events happening.
We spot a good suspenseful moment with
the octopus attacking the ship although
you can tell that it's computer animated.
There are good shots on bit part actors
trying to shoot the octopus with machine
guns and stuff like that.
Harrington showed perfect energy
holding a gun screaming at Isyanov as
he shows terrific energy himself and
acting insane too while trying to get
away in a helicopter.
The music sounded
quite good by Marco Marinangeli as
he didn't compose typical synthesizer
playing. We get some good classical music
surprisingly enough.
Captain
Jack Shaw (After being shot in
the leg) Thank you
Dr. Lisa Finch: Any time
