Humankind in a Lifeboat

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2018)

While Hitchcock and his films seem to be endlessly referenced, Lifeboat is very seldom ever a part of those conversations. After seeing this film I'm still not sure why that is. Its unique setting, entirely aboard a lifeboat adrift at sea, is quite successful. The script is interesting and brisk, the acting good, and while some of the characters hint at stereotype, overall there is real suspense, wit, and humor represented here and its also quite entertaining. Worth checking out for Hitchcock fans and non-fans alike.
