Rain in the Ocean

About This Movie

Rain in the Ocean is an intriguing piece from 1994, blending drama with an intense sense of isolation. Set aboard an ocean liner, the film follows Lillian, engineer Carter, and policeman Simmons as they navigate both literal and metaphorical waters. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to the tension as the characters grapple with their fates. The practical effects of the lifebuoys in the vast open ocean create a raw atmosphere, heightening the stakes. The performances are quite engaging, particularly how each character’s backstory unravels in such a confined setting. It’s a unique exploration of trust and desperation, with a claustrophobic feel that lingers long after the credits roll.

Considered a hidden gem in ocean-themed cinema. · Noteworthy for its practical effects amidst limited settings. · The character dynamics are central to the storytelling.
