An American action thriller; A story about a hostile takeover by terrorists of a battleship, the USS Missouri, which is about to be decommissioned. The band is led by a disgruntled ex-CIA operative, and a psychotic executive officer. An ex-Navy Seal who they hadn't planned for is aboard and intends to thwart them.
Nominated for two Academy awards in the sound category this film has some good tension, and is well-directed, making the most of its confined setting - every scene playing like a real event on a ship at sea. The story is absurd and formulaic though it is told with a certain wit and panache.
