Angela Lansbury are including the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie detective story. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt half the cast being stabbed, which narrows his potential killers to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.

Robert Redford provides a mature brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a individual struggling to endure in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a crash with an lost cargo box.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The lead actor provides sterling work in among his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the commander of an commercial transport hijacked by maritime criminals off the geographical area.

If the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
