Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe structure in this film is derived from a single tower of the Maunsell army forts built in groups of seven to defend the Thames Estuary and River Thames ports during WWII. The Red Sands group and six of the seven Shivering Sands towers remain, as of this movie's release.
- GoofsWhen loading the howitzer as the unmanned ship approaches, the shells clearly have no primers or projectiles. They are just empty cases, unable to fire.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Cassidy: [narrating] Darkness and light. Evil and good. War and peace. Them and us. Everyone knows that one could not exist without the other. And between to two, there is a balance.
Cassidy: Some say that before the lands disappeared, birds were able to migrate between the continents. They used a wind called uplift. You don't have to flap your wings to stay up. But you also don't fall. You stay in the middle effortlessly, resting in the air.
Cassidy: But there are no uplift winds any more, because we ruined the balance.

Lyrics by Frederick Thomas Nettlingham
(traditional children's song and nursery rhyme)
4 people (2 military, 2 civilian) are aboard this sentinel tower located between the only two countries left in the world after flooding has covered all other places. Ok, somewhat unbelievable.
This tower has a device that can change the fate for the entire planet and is meant as a fail safe device if the second country attacks this first country, who constructed this sentinel tower.
The problem is that they signed up for 2 years, and their relief is well overdue. They experience all sorts of communication issues. Then something appears, and changes the dynamics of the story. If you don't like growing tension, then I guess you'd call that boring, but I took it more as a who-done-it mystery.
Imagine being out in the middle of the ocean between two warring countries, and you are the last line of defense on a rotting decrepid metal structure. That enough creates the tension.
The captain is a tough military lifer, and he plays that role well. His corporel seems less strict but still follows his orders. The two civilians just want to get paid and go back to dry land.
There's plenty of story here, enveloped in rain, fog, mystery. The acting is decent as is the story. The cinematography does a great job of depicting the isolation, along with creepy noises and screenshots to ramp up the excitement.
I suggest you give it a view. Not a bad flick.
Enjoy.
