The bad... Spry "Speed" survivor Annie Porter (Bullock) can't seem to escape maniacal terrorists, as she discovers soon after boarding a posh luxury liner with her engagement-minded boyfriend, Alex. The bad news is that the disgruntled--and recently fired--mastermind behind the ship's electronic control systems wants revenge against the ship's management, so he sets the ship on a collision course with such deadly targets as an offshore oil tanker. The good news is that Alex has been training on the sly with an elite LAPD SWAT team, so the plucky pair resolves to save their fellow passengers. [More]

Cruise control indeed, as in slow and phoned-in, coasting by on what is passed off as thrills.

If Speed 2 and let's say, Kissed, a dark comedy about a woman necrophile, were the very last two movies at the video store, I would pick Kissed.

When some people talk about how much they loathed 1997's Big Boat Movie, I think they must mean this one.

Incredible ineptitude, a terminally shaky camera and plotholes you could drive the universe through.

De Bont botches nearly all opportunities for suspense.
