Deep Rising (1998) **
Quite enjoyable, but very silly action flick set on a luxury liner attacked by a gigantic squid. The special effects are impressive, but there isn't even a pretense of a plot - people just run away from the monster, flirt, listen to the elevator music, trade lame jokes and seem to be having a very good time. This is one flick where there should be more yelling and screaming. The actors play it so cool, it's almost like a tongue-in-cheek parody of a horror film. Bond girl Famke Janssen looks great in that T-shirt.
