Leave your thoughts about Dead Calm.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenA spare, smart, seductive piece of real movie making with (almost) every loophole covered, a superlative cast and enough tension to keep us all hyperventilating for hours. |
| Time OutNigel FloydA classic piece of pared-down genre film-making is lent extra depth by an emotional subtext stressing Kidman's transition from dependent wife to resourceful individual. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenA remarkable breakout for Nicole Kidman, who gives this feminist thriller everything it deserves, and more. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyOne of the better yuppies-in-jeopardy thrillers of the late '80s and early '90s. |
| New York TimesCaryn James"Dead Calm" ... becomes disturbing for all the wrong reasons. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyCinematogapher Dean Semler gets amazing colours as the sun sets, and there’s a bravely avant-garde debut score from Kiwi composer Graeme Revell, pumping up the pulse with sinister breathing sounds. The plot even thrives on a tacit cultural tension between the Australian stars and the arrogant interloper. |
| The GuardianLuke BuckmasterIt’s Nicole Kidman who steals the show. Forced to endure the brunt of Hughie’s attacks, Rae is both cool and desperate, calculating and vulnerable, with a strange energy that feels young and tender but wise beyond her years. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertDead Calm generates genuine tension, because the story is so simple and the performances are so straightforward. This is not a gimmick film (unless you count the husband's method of escaping from the sinking ship), and Kidman and Zane do generate real, palpable hatred in their scenes together. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelInitially, the film works well as a tense, teasing suspense vehicle. But one of Dead Calm’s major problems is that it brings to mind ideas and plot similarities from so many other films that you are constantly being reminded of its own rather humble status. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThough not always entirely credible, Dead Calm is a nail-biting suspense pic [from the novel by Charles Williams] handsomely produced and inventively directed. |
