Totally different mystery. I like to watch this in winter and do every couple of years. It was originally a short story by Agatha Christy, so true to the story it is short with a simple plot. I enjoy movies where there is some fundamental positive change in the protagonist's character and that happens here. For example Enchanted April or Cold Comfort Farm. This is a great couple's movie. An antique sports car enthusiast would love this movie. I think it is great to see such a good looking car for so little money. Although one suspects a light rear wheel drive car would be much harder to drive in the snow than it was portrayed. Ther is something for just about everyone in this movie, unless you are expecting a blood and murder who-done-it.

This was a disappointment. It is amazing that it was compared favorably by some reviewers here and on other sites with Master and Commander - there is absolutely no comparison. I had hoped it would at least be to sailing what Caddy Shack is to golfing; didn't happen. Weak plot, pathetic script, "me-centered" teens expecting the world to revolve around them while struggling to become reprobate, improbable (impossible) plot shifts. The 2 stars are for sailing in beautiful waters. It is hard to understand that when so many positive elements were there - budget (obviously), talented actors, nice looking boat, great locale, that Hollywood cannot pull together a script and plot. I almost purchased it, glad I only rented on it Amazon Prime and saved $4.
