Storyline

Liu Chenchen, a free-spirited young woman, rebels against her wealthy family and elopes with her boyfriend to join a cruise-bond treasure hunt. But what began as an innocent game with promises of great reward soon turns into a battle for survival when the contestants are thrown into a mysterious world of intrigue and chaos in the middle of the sea. Liu relies only on her wits and her new friends to survive, all the while unmasking foes and learning that nothing is what it seems. But as her companions are attacked one by one, Liu must do everything she can to escape.

User Reviews

Memorable boat ride

I know that there will be a lot of comparisons to a famous horror/thriller analogy from people watching this, due to the mechanisms/traps on the boat. But once you've watched it, you may find another maybe even more suitable comparison (movie-wise that is). But since I don't want to spoil the experience I'll leave it at that .. I am going to mention that the end will most likely break the movie as a whole for most people.

It is really something that shouldn't have happened, but there are some notions of it throughout. Still the movie has some nice effects overall and it has the tension it needs to keeps you on the edge of your seat. You can't be squeamish about violence of course, but there is no nudity. Characters are paper thin, but they mostly are in thrillers like this
