Do we really need gun-play aboard the Titanic?

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2000)

When Billy Zane took out his pistol and began firing at the fleeing lovers, I thought to myself "Oh puh-leeeeze! We've got the biggest maritime disaster in history going on here and the director feels he needs to provide MORE drama?! And CONTRIVED drama at that?" To me it just crystallized the absolute creative and emotional bankrupcy of this movie.
