“Former firefighter and Special Forces officer Kyle Considine (Casper Van Dien, Starship Troopers) is travelling with his son Zach and has been hired to evaluate security on a cruise ship. Soon after leaving port, the ship is hijacked by terrorists demanding a ransom and threatening to blow up the liner ...” - DVD sleeve blurb.

“The ship, in real life, is one of the inter-island ferries that travel daily between the two main islands [of New Zealand] and even has the company's logo (a dolphin) still all over the set including on the ship's funnel. The ship is supposed to be a cruise ship/ferry between the USA and Mexico. It has obvious signs of rust and old age all over the place yet is supposed to be a luxury ship on it's maiden voyage. One of the scenes shows the snow capped peaks of New Zealand's South island in the background” - User review, IMDb.com

“This is one of the best films for ripping apart I have ever seen. From the 'luxury' ocean liner actually being a 'roll on, roll off' ferry, complete with cast iron everything to the doors with adhesive stickers saying staff, then seeing the same door being used for something else in another scene - this film rocks!!” - User review, IMDb.com

“The fake American accents are the first clue that things are about to go spectacularly wrong ... Imagine “Under Siege” meets “The Love Boat ...” - User review, IMDb.com.

“An interesting piece of added amusement is playing "Spot the Villain" as passengers join the ship. You won't be wrong!!!” - User review, IMDb.com. (All viewed 22/01/2016)
