'Midnight Crossing' (1988) - Roger Holzberg.
A group of old friends charter a boat for a leisurely Caribbean cruise, but, instead of experiencing exotic, sun-slaked frolics, their somewhat mercenary agendas fatefully get the better of them, greed, deceit and increasing paranoia erupting in an especially boisterous climax! While this enjoyably trashy Vestron Pictures thriller is cheesier than a 4-day fondue festival, the clunky, Danielle steel dialogue, and palpably hysterical tone merely increases the film's not inconsiderable entertainment value! A mendacious, Daniel J. Traventi racily sports a pair of questionably snug budgie smugglers, the ravishing, Kim Cattrall is hotter than a freshly popped pop tart, sweaty horndog, John Laughlin is, er, sweaty horndog, John Laughlin, and, as ever, powerhouse diva, Faye Dunaway is compelling as the sultry schemer, Helen Barton! With a fervid narrative about as subtle as a, Jackie Collins bonk-fest, myriad highlights of this trashmongous 80s thriller include, Ned Beatty's amusingly salty, pseudo-Quint sea dog, Ellis, the rad uber-80s score, and, Cattrall's boffably bodacious bod is so smoking hot that it would make a man-size vindaloo cry! Fun film fact,sweaty horndog, John Laughlin also appears as an Imperial Stormtrooper in the Star Wars Holiday special!
'This turbulent Midnight Crossing isn't so much Dead Calm, as Dead Hectic, so hold onto your life preservers as, Kim Cattrall proves slippery when wet!' - Weirdlingwolf.
