what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

In lieu of composing a comprehensive summary of the film in question, I would simply like to submit this to the curious viewer: My advice, son, is go to sea. There you will find more than you bargain for, and, if all is as it should be, meet the nanny of your dreams.The hatred of the aristocracy is entirely natural, but one's affection for the coal miners, sweepers, or shovelers must be brought to the screen to be believed.Now for the Volta of text: Many Germans are in fact spies. Many nannies are in fact spies. Many nannies are in fact available.Finally: I only was able to discover the film (the film in question, that is) by virtue of a fortunate Flaw in the Matrix: All cable channels numbered between 26 and 52 were mysteriously frozen for a certain period on a certain date. (By way of an afterthought: the scrawl on Fox News Channel at the time read "Biologists discover a huge ---")...

Britannic is a good film that has a good cast which includes Edward Atterton, Amanda Ryan, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Daniels, John Rhys-Davies, Bruce Payne, Alex Ferns, Eleanor Oakley, Archie Davies, Ed Stobart, Adam Bareham, David Lumsden, Wolf Kahler, Philip Rham, Daniel Coonan, Daniel Tatarsky, and Martin Savage! The acting by all of these actors is very good. Rhys-Davies and Payne are really excellent in this film. I thought that they performed good. The thrills is really good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed very good. The music is good. The nudity scene was a bit unneeded and I thought it brought down the impact of the film a few stars. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Edward Atterton, Amanda Ryan, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Daniels, John Rhys-Davies, Bruce Payne, Alex Ferns, Eleanor Oakley, Archie Davies, the rest of the cast in the film, Thrillers, Dramas, Romance, War, Action, Mystery, and interesting true stories films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

30 or so people died when the H.M.H.S Britannic sank, 55 minutes after striking a mine, and this is how we respect them?I am shocked at the fact that the film makers had the nerve to use the name Britannic in this steaming pile of a movie.Don't even bother seeing this movie for yourself, the real story is far more dramatic. For instance, Violet Jessop, who was a nurse on the Britannic, was also on the Titanic 4 years earlier, and she was onboard the Titanic's other sister ship, the R.M.S. Olympic, when she collided with the British cruiser, the H.M.S. Hawke, in 1911. This poor women was on all three Olympic-Class liners (as they were called) when they experienced tragedies, and she isn't even mentioned. However, I believe that the main character in the movie is loosely based on her.

Jacqueline Bisset a once and still magnificently beautiful and talented actress is regrettably the most notorious name in the cast. It is so unfortunate that she allowed herself to become a part of its ensemble since the film has little, if any, value at all. As can be expected, the film attempted to ride on the coattails of the enormously successful, Titanic, but fell far short of its expectations. Most importantly, it is not historically correct. The same argument could be made regarding Titanic, as the characters were fictional. However, in the case of The Brittanic, not only are the characters fictious, so is the plot. In addition, the rating is decidedly incorrect, as the film is full of violence and should have received an R rating for its violence alone. I surely regret having to pan a film starring Ms. Bisset. However this film does not deserve to have been distributed and certainly not under the guise under which it was. Hopefully, having received as little publicity as it did, it will not reach a much larger audience than it has to date.
