Making Waves

About This Movie

Making Waves is an interesting blend of action and drama that dives deep into the psyche of its characters. The atmosphere is charged with tension, especially as the lead grapples with her mother's legacy and her father's disapproval. The pacing keeps you engaged, with adrenaline-pumping jet ski racing scenes juxtaposed against quieter, more reflective moments. The performances have a raw authenticity, particularly in the strained family dynamics. It’s not just about racing; it’s also a journey of self-discovery and reconciliation. The practical effects during the racing sequences have a gritty realism that some modern films seem to lack. It’s this blend of personal stakes and high-octane action that makes it stand out in the late '90s landscape.
