Warning: Spoilers
I saw the DVD of this film in a charity shop for £1.50 so i thought i would have a go. well the tag line is " there is no stopping what can't be stopped" well that really bursts my balloon. How about "there is no watching what can't be watched"

Here we have Craig Fairbrass strutting round a cheap and cheerful oil rig set with a bunch of hardly knowns for "support".

The lighting and sound seem to be very poor which all point to a lower budget than the U.K armed forces.

It seems full of the old clunky clichés like the fact that although its a spooky deserted oil rig they all still have to go off to separate cabins "for a good nights kip"

There are one or two minor scares i suppose but it never escapes what it is: a low budget film with a worn out plot and some patchy acting in places. Not even Doug "pinhead" Bradley could inject anything into this to stop it sinking.
