Brilliant Whodunnit, 1 February 2005
10/10
Author: largo1965 from Vancouver, B.C.

James Coburn plays an arrogant film producer who invites six film industry colleagues to his yacht for a Mediterranean cruise. Saying any more than that would give the game away, as this is a brilliant whodunnit filled with great plot twists and lots of clues for the sharp-eyed, thinking viewer. Who would have known that two such inexperience screenwriters could have come up with something so brilliant. The best part about this movie is that compared to so many other whodunnits which often utilize phony plot contrivances in order to cheat the audiences with a solution they couldn't possibly have solved, this one is there for the viewer to figure out if they can - it's even better the second time around when you realise what's going on.

I thoroughly recommend this for all fans of great mystery stories.
