Great Film, 2 May 2006
8/10
Author: rh86 from United Kingdom

A really good film with some fantastic acting, especially Jurgen Prochnow and also should hopefully give audiences greater understanding of the Estonia disaster. Over 800 people died when the ferry sank in 1994 and the official report was not well accepted by the victims families(depicted extremely well in the film by Prochnow). You don't need to know anything about the disaster to watch this film but by the end you will know a hell of a lot. Making use of both testimonies and Jutta Rabe's research this film makes for an extremely suspenseful two hours. The only thing that lets it down is the soundtrack which occasionally branches off into crazy moments when a few characters are introduced. Other than that, a really good film.
