Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rob Lowe learned to sail for this role and reportedly hated every minute of it, which oddly fuels his performance's underlying resentment.
Part of a forgotten 80s mini-wave of yacht-based thrillers—think Dead Calm's trashier American cousin—that capitalized on 'rich widow' anxiety post-divorce boom.
