criticism
"Die Hard" meets "Titanic" in the cheap banana steamer version. Conclusion: awkward B-film with watery action "
"Believing that it can combine tried and tested blockbuster elements as desired, the film presents itself as a mixture of" Titanic "and" Die Hard ", but only brings about a completely confused story. They cannot cover up the overwhelmed actors who also have to struggle with the handicap of amateur special effects. "
