ItвЂ™s a waste of a bullet, not because Hanover misses, but because itвЂ™s the only one left in the chamber. Naturally the plan goes to pot, and Sommers takes morbid delight staging the deaths of his extras, notably Jason Flemyng, an unfortunate hired gun who chases off one worm only to get immediately snatched by another, and especially Studi, who enjoys the filmвЂ™s grandest death scene and one of its best gags: halfway down the gullet of a very persistent worm, he takes a pistol offered him by Joey (Kevin J OвЂ™Connor, the movieвЂ™s resident comic relief machine), and immediately takes a spiteful potshot at Joey. Sommers deftly weaves the film around stalk-and-kill horror, gut-busting comedy and rollicking, swashbuckling romp as the competing crews make a dubious pact to work together and avoid being slurped up by aberrations akin to Star WarsвЂ™ Sarlacc. When poor Billy (Clint Curtis), one member of HanoverвЂ™s team, gets ejected partially digested from a wormвЂ™s belly, one look is all it takes to cut the entomology lesson short. Canton suggests that the things hunting them throughout the bowels and decks and halls of the ship are Ottoia grown to prodigious size in the SeaвЂ™s yawning regions. Lurking beneath the furious waves are hungry tentacles that make a meal of the ArgonauticaвЂ™s passengers in short order before turning to the mercenaries for dessert. ItвЂ™s the reason we go to see monster movies in the first place, which is the same reason we appreciate B-movies at all: the pleasure of pedigree colliding with the grimy thrill of watching hideous creatures consume the secondary cast.Дeep Rising takes place on stormy waters in the South China Sea, cutting between two parties: The mercenaries aboard Captain John FinneganвЂ™s (Treat Williams) boat, led by Hanover (Wes Studi), and the ultra-wealthy beau mondes indulging themselves aboard the Argonautica, a luxury cruise ship architected by Simon Canton (a wonderfully unctuous Anthony Heald) and set on a course for terror.

вЂњHilariousвЂќ is hardly the first word one might reach for to describe a movie where people get sucked up like spaghetti by colossal oceanic worms that вЂњdrinkвЂќ their prey rather than eat them. Deep Rising is no exception, but the old pans that today comprise the bulk of the filmвЂ™s 28% Rotten Tomatoes score missed what a boisterous, bloody good time it is, monsters at sea mixed with SommersвЂ™ love for adventure and snappy humor.
