The real star is the ship

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 1999)

An excellent film which gave a real sense of what it must have been like to be involved in such a disaster with almost no hope of rescue. The real star is the ship, but Kate Winslet and Billy Zane give great performances. Many of the smaller roles are excellent, particularly crew members. The Irish band are brilliant,the costumes are gorgeous and the attention to detail is top class. Leonardo di Caprio makes a good fist of his role but really any half way competent actor could have done the job. Overall though,the only main reservation is the script!
