SEAN ASTIN IS STRANDED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF LAKE MICHIGAN WITH A DRUG SMUGGLER WHO'S PLANE JUST CRASHED IN "THE SURFACE" (2014)

 

Sean Astin stars with Chris Mulkey in what is mostly a two-man act on the water in this wordy slow burn. Shot in the middle of Lake Michigan, Astin plays Mitch who as it turns out has gone out there to kill himself. Mulkey plays Kelly, a smuggler who has a plane crash and is rescued by Mitch. Kelly has a bag with him that has an alarm and GPS on it so now he's being sought and Mitch is in his shit, get it? 

Like I said it's wordy, and it's certainly not going to win any awards for directing or producing. It's got a cool premise though, worth at least one watch for movie lovers. Both leads are great and btw have to throw this in - Mulkey, you need a new agent, totally should have had shared billing with Astin on this.  2.75 stars/5   Tubi, YT, and many other free streamers.
