Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

... View MoreThis better-than-expected Lifetime movie offers an intriguing story and excellent acting against an exotic backdrop.The Hawaii wedding of Lindsey and Trevor Forrest looks a little too good to be true, so it's no surprise to see it unraveling as soon as the newlyweds board their luxury cruise ship.Though the opening credits say this story isn't based on anyone in particular, it's reminiscent of a notorious case of some years back in which a bridegroom went missing on his honeymoon cruise.Summer Glau and Chris Carmack excel as attractive young people who seem to have it all -- till we notice that Trevor has a gambling and drinking problem that troubles his new wife. One quickly starts to question why these two tied the knot.Then, once Trevor goes missing, watching the shark-like negotiations that Lindsey foists on the ship captain, one begins to understand how Trevor's fortune may have played a role.As convincingly as Glau and Carmack deliver their performances, they're outshone by Zoe McLellen as Gwen, an FBI agent who happens to be vacationing on the ship. She does some excellent investigative work to come up with a plausible theory about how Trevor could have disappeared.This film ends on a chilling note that is exquisitely karmic.
... View MoreI have seen a few movies and TV-series that stars Summer Glau, Terminator: The Sarah Connor chronicles, Serenity and The Cape. She does a terrific job with all of these character. And even in this low-budget movie she does a good character, but the problem does not seem to be Summer, but rather the male actor she is playing against. He is very 2 dimensional, there is no natural charm, no feelings expressed in the face and he seem to nervous and too rushed to get into character. I understand that this is a very low budget film, but even the directing and script is on par with such a low budget movie. I just wish the male actor was someone else, it would have risen the movie to another level.4/10 because of a good enough script and Summer Glau's performance.
... View MoreExciting, intriguing drama. A young couple wed with all the picture taking, happiness and a future laced with love. For their honeymoon, they embark on a cruise to Tahiti. It is on the trip that tragedy ensues. Our perfect couple were not perfect at all. Destiny played a hand that they would meet up with 3 ruthless guys. Everything seems to play into the hands of the real killer or killers. There is even an attempt at extortion on the part of the killer against the Cruise Line.This is a story of immaturity, greed, and a well-conceived plan by the killer to get away with this.There are sidebar stories such as a possible romance between a vacationing female divorced FBI agent and one of the captain's crew. This film will keep you guessing, but you should get it by the snide sneers of the killer.
... View More***SPOILERS*** The film "Deadly Honeymoon" seems to have been based on a true story which is why I suspect it's ending is so unlike in the made for TV movies you usually see on the Lifetime Movie Network. Even the one's based on true stories! What's so frustrating about the movie is that it tries so hard to give us the impression that the two victims in it the newly wed Forrests Lindsey & Trevor, Summer Glau & Chis Carmac, are just a fun loving couple on their honeymoon cruise just looking to have a good time with each other and nothing else. In fact both of them are anything but and have as many bad traits as the "Happy Hungarians" Ben Luca & Max, Adam Tsekham Peter Katona & Sergey Russu, looking for action or young single as well as married women on board the ship!After a night of drinking gambling and partying Trevor ends up lost with his by now drugged and boozed up wife Lindsey out cold with both her husband and memory gone! It was the "Happy Hungarians" who were partying with the Forrests who are the main suspects in Travor's disappearance! In fact it's later reviled on one the ship's security cameras that lover boy Luca, the romantic of the three "Happy Hungarians", was making out with Lindsey while her husband was out drinking and snorting coke in the ship's bar!It's one of the ship's passengers the busty FBI woman agent Gwen Merced, Zoe McLellan, who's also looking for action, in that she's just separated from her husband, who smells a rat in all this missing person, Trevor Forrest, business going on the ship. Checking out all the facts Gwen finds out that things aren't exactly as Lindsey said that they were in Trevor being the all American boy she said he was. In fact Trevor was a party going coke head who lived off his parents money without a job or future in his father's business or anyone's else's. What even more disturbing is that the sweet and innocent as the morning snow Lindsey was not that much better!***SPOILERS*** We do in fact get to see what happened to Trevor but it's so sloppily done that you don't know if it's for real or a drug induced hallucination on Lindsey's part. As for Lindsey herself she flies the coop, or ship, on a helicopter for first Tahiti and then New York City where she opens up a fancy clothing boutique on swanky Fifth Avenue! How in hell did Lindsey, who was dead broke, have the money to open up a business like that with out even having the cash for a down payment to do it? It's with the 3 million dollar settlement that she got from both the cruise company, in keeping what happened on the ship from becoming public, and Trevor's parents, in not exposing their son's drug and alcohol addictions, in thus having Lindsey keep her mouth shut!
