Angela Lansbury are including the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this ensemble cast crime novelist detective story.

9. Everything's Gone (2013)

The main star gives a late-career brilliant acting in one-man show as a person battling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is impaired in a collision with an lost shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to record.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The main star delivers excellent performance in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the commander of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("I control this vessel"), making a remarkable film debut as the raider leader in the director's tense movie, inspired by actual incidents. If the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
