Dead Calm Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
Though not always entirely credible, Dead Calm is a nail-biting suspense pic [from the novel by Charles Williams] handsomely produced and inventively directed.

One of the best thrillers of our time....it'll leave your gasping for air

Fun, scary, and suspenseful from start to finish.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
One of the better yuppies-in-jeopardy thrillers of the late '80s and early '90s.

Great thriller with two excellent actors!
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Edgy cinematography keeps the tension coming like waves.
New York Times
Caryn James
"Dead Calm" ... becomes disturbing for all the wrong reasons.
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Mckay
A gripping three-character film that plays out like Hitchcock on the High Seas.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is not a gimmick film ... and Kidman and Zane do generate real, palpable hatred in their scenes together.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
For much of the movie, you're enthralled. By the end, you're laughing. This is not good.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
[Noyce is] a masterful manipulator, but eventually there is no more wind in these sails, not even enough to riffle a jib, as the story and Rae's character wear thin.
