Disturbing yet enthralling

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Taking a break from movie viewing to follow the world Cup,I decided to get back to viewings on my dads birthday. Checking titles from UK DVD company Network that we could enjoy watching,I was pleased to spot a fun-looking mystery,which led to me going on a voyage.View on the film:Bringing it to shore, Network present a crisp image and clean soundtrack. Going back to sea after making Ghost Ship,co-writer/ (with Julia Ward) director Vernon Sewell & composer Allan Gray cast a chirpy Caper atmosphere,with Gray's up-beat score matching Sewell's relaxed, casual camera moves following the trio solving the case. Sending the Drew's (sadly no Nancy) and Duncan onto the ship to solve the case, the screenplay by Sewell and Ward keeps the mystery moving at a breezy pace with comedic misunderstandings between the trio and French police on the dangerous voyage.

Beware not to confound this film with another one directed too by Vernon Sewell and titled "Ghost Ship", shot in 1952. It's also a sea mystery film.When I started to watch this one, I first thought that I already saw it a long time ago...But I checked on IMDb and discovered that there were in fact two movies with approximately the same kind of topic.In the first one, it's about a boat with no one aboard and the enigma around it; and in the latest, the rescue of two men in a row boat, and who mysteriously disappear just after... The sequence where the two lead characters come into a police station, in France, to complain about someone who shot at them, and where two policemen don't understand what they say, is very amusing. Frenchies are shown as dumbs, but I laughed a lot.The climax is quite effective. I would say unforgettable.
