Dead Calm wasn't bad. Not the greatest movie, sure, but entertaining enough....

One time my friend got to pick the movie, I actually saw this in the theater. It has been a long time, but I remember having an adverse reaction along the order of a moderate food allergy. Was it something about Kidman aloft standing on a spreader with her free hand raised Christopher Columbus-style to block the sun? I'm not sure exactly what it was, but at some point I distinctly remember rooting for Billy Zane.
