This is a movie that will have you on the edge of the seat throughout. Not for the faint of heart, as the story is harrowing and deals with realistic situations of disaster and death. Richard Roxburgh is excellent in the role of the expedition leader and feels responsible for the survival of his team when a storm causes flooding in the cave deep below the surface. Ioan Gruffud is also cast well as an arrogant billionaire who underestimates the severity of his cave diving "fun" hobby. Highly recommended!

Long time fan of John Wayne, and this is a fun movie. Have it on DVD and purchased the blu-ray to upgrade quality of viewing. Nicely done transfer for 1960 picture quality, but the 4.0 dolby soundtrack is flawed. The voices move from side to side too often and can be distracting. I recommend changing the audio to mono to overcome it. I would still recommend this for fans of John Wayne....good old fashioned fun at the movies!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, good cast and well directed. The love story has a good plot and I enjoyed the ending as well. Bought it from seeing the trailer, otherwise knowing nothing about it. Would recommend it if you enjoy a love story from an 1870 England time setting.

Ridley Scott (director) can be counted on for good movies, and here he scores with an "American Gangster", a movie based on true events during the Viet-Nam war era. The story takes place in NYC and tells of the rise of a heroin importer who wants the American dream life and the cop on his trail who refuses to succumb to corruption while many of his fellow narcotic officers do. Great cast and acting--led by Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe; good soundtrack too. Definitely recommended!

This movie was a complete disappointment because of the story. Contrived script, just trying to be different. Movie made no sense and had a terrible ending. I regret purchasing this, and would not recommend unless you want a movie that uses nonsense just to be different.
