    Honestly, awful.

    Albert Ainsworth, is the captain of the US Red Rhino ship. His mission to stop Russians from attacking the US. This movie is primarily about a love of his called Susan Hamish, about how they meet, how they love and hey they are separated. The adventure takes you across the world to find each other again. But nothing goes to plan.

    It sounds good, but it is just awfully bad. The acting is awful, Michael Jenkins for me gave the worst acting of the century. The only thing that would have made this better if it wasn't made at all.

    57 minutes of pain. Don't watch. 3 out 10. 1 star.

    Warning: contains sexual scenes
