2.0 out of 5 stars The Sea Woof..., December 29, 2002

By	S. White (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Sea Woof... because it's a bit of a dog!
I have the Jack London book of the same name, upon which this film is based and decided to check the film out before I read the book in it's entirety. The film is a typical two and a half star, B grade, tele-movie type drama from 1993. The director has even managed to make 1993 look more like 1983 due to the style of the filming, and the editing is so ham-fisted it telegraphs the ad breaks like you wouldn't believe!

As to the performances, Bronson is looking old and flabby cheeked, and doesn't really seem all that menacing, as the demonic Wolf Larrson should have been. Nevertheless I always loved Bronson and he turns in a passable performance, but not one of his best. It seems to me that Wolf Larson as I understood the character described from the book was on qualudes with Bronson playing the role. Reeves as Hump, well described by other reviewers here so I won't go into it, is excellent as usual but one gets the feeling he is miscast also, even though he does justice to the role. The woman, Flaxen(?, is rewritten as a thief and becomes the token bit of lace on board, but never has anything important or revelatory to say, and/or offer to the story so one gets the feeling that she was better left to drown in the San Fransisco bay right from the first!

The whole thing feels a bit weak and lumpy and never lives up to it's full potential for all kinds of reasons. Worth a look if it's ever on late night TV though don't expect anything grand. Certainly don't bother buying this film, the ending was a joke!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Of Bronson's latests., September 16, 1999

By	Birthe Jrgensen (Odense, Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like this TV movies for several reasons; it features the lovely Stewart, a strong hero in Reeve, and Bronson's best 90's performance. This movie clearly shows he can still do it, making it a real shame he's retired now. There have been many good versions of this story, and I truly think this one ranks up there with the best of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bronson, Reeves PLUS Catherine Mary Stewart!!!, May 30, 2005

By	John Baranyai "Book Nerd And Ex High School G... - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is a remake of the 1941 Classic based on the Jack London book of the same name. It is about a sadistic Sea Captain (Bronson) who rules the waves and his ship with an iron fist.This movie has drama, adventure on the High Seas PLUS some romance . What more could you ask for? Sadly , Christopher Reeves and Charles Bronson are no longer with us but they both did leave us with a legacy of very good movies and this is one of them.
