How to make a bad action/adventure flick:
Step one:
Take out all of the ingredients that made Die Hard and Speed good movies (character development, plot twists, etc).
Step two:
Hire a list of completely untalented, unknown actors and then tell them to overact in typical Shatner conviction (only not as amusing and intelligible).
Step three:
Throw in typical terrorist plot (in this case, 12 terrorists take over a HUGE ocean liner (don't know how they could take over a place with around 250-1000 people) who want money in the vault when they could just rob a bank
Step four:
Throw in a couple annoyingly stupid characters
Step five:
Take out things like choreography, bullet dodging, or anything that would make someone watch an action movies
Step six:
Make sure to include totally one-dimensional characters
And the result in one hella bad, boring movie. It sure wouldn't be hard to make a good action movie, even include a little joke or something, but the filmmakers took all of the ways to make a good movie and did the opposite. There is absolutely no way I can recommend this mediocre piece of shazbot (sorry).
If you see it in a store, warn people of it's presence and tell them not to be fooled by Ice-T's presence in the flick (even Mean Guns is better than this tripe).
