5.0 out of 5 stars Great True Story Movie, June 10, 2007

By	D. Johnson (Buena Park, California) - See all my reviews

This movie has stuck with me since I first saw it on HBO back in '96 and I am so happy to now own it on dvd. This is one I'll be sharing with everyone I know. Such a sad story but one that needed to be told. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you rooting for Omar Epp's character to somehow escape his brother and the other seven stowaway's fate. Very tragic but it culminates to a very justifiable ending. Omar Epps, as always, delivers superbly and props to Danny Glover who was the Executive Producer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Behaviour unworthy of the "right to life.", January 23, 2008

By	A. Alexander "once met........................" (Central London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Smashing Cast, direction-extraordinaire, wonderful acting (delightfully-portrayed - following real-life events upon the high seas - reducing all fair and decent-minded people to tears of impotent frustration and despair.) Nota Bene: The 'burning' desire (to 'do' something in order to help these poor, innocent, beautiful 'children of the Universe' by protecting and releasing Them from Their never-ending nightmare, having to encounter - 'circumstances of embarkation'; Wholly Irrelevant - an; out-of-control 'mob' of howling, murderous demons in human form and attire) is overwhelming, throughout most of the film. However: "Those who live in 'the dark' shall, always be; exposed in 'the light.'"
