Morgan and Catherine Norvell have their future plans ready. In Monte Carlo, their sailboat is stocked. From there they are going to sail to Malta and live on the boat for a year. They have bought some real estate with an old ruin of a hotel on it, which they are going to rebuild. A few days before they are about to start, they meet Gil and Ronnie Freeland. They would give anything to join them for a couple of days on the sea, and no sooner said than done, all four of them are enjoying the sweet life on the boat. The Norvells soon discover that it was a big mistake to invite them on board...

So much average
Just perfect...
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I remember watching Voyage about 1997, it was on at 1 am on a Thursday morning I believe, and given that I had watched and enjoyed 'Dead Calm' a couple of years earlier, this late night copy of it seemed a watchable fare! Yes I did guess the entire plot after 5 minutes, but I knew it would be entertaining, and even a pretty good thriller to someone who hadn't seen Dead Calm! It was good stuff for a TV movie, nice to see Karen Allen again. and Eric Roberts puts in his greatest performance (until 2013's 'A Talking Cat). The plot has some interesting twists and the locations are scenic, but lets not forget that this film was deliberately made to be a Dead Calm rip off, so just enjoy it and stop grumbling!
This movie is a masterpiece of Eric Roberts, I believe this is his best movie (maybe along with Runaway Train). I think his character truly shines in this movie. Idea of meeting of two worlds evil and good on a place where there is no escape (yacht) has been greatly utilized in the movie. It is full of conflicts between the good (Morgan and Catherine) and bad (Gill and Ronnie) with wonderful dialogs, that will really make you laugh at times. Gil is just so funny stating very very bad remarks and replies to Morgan all throughout the movie, sometimes you can't believe he is so bad. The story is thrilling and graduating all the way till the end of the movie. The plot is simple, yet the quality of the movie is in the dialogs that might shock you and make you smile sometimes. I highly recommend this movie.
I love movies with small casts and isolated settings, with VOYAGE being the among the best of such. This is like Roman Polanski's KNIFE IN THE WATER, only this time we have great actors all around.Hauer is his usual great subtle acting machine. His face seems to have a thousand muscles and he can say more with an expression than the boring interchangeable "stars" of today can in an entire career.And Eric Roberts is the perfect opposition for Our Boy Rutger with an incredible heel performance. I'll never forget when he says to Hauer with sinister glee "I'll turn your head around backwards!"Why aren't the exceptional Roberts and greatest living actor Hauer more popular? Because in order to be popular one has to be mediocre.
Voyage is a somewhat underrated film. It stars Rutger Hauer and Karen Allen as a couple preparing to enjoy a year-long voyage on their yacht. Unfortunately they are joined by another couple who aren't quite what they appear. Eric Roberts marvelously plays the antagonist. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this film. I watched another version of this story with Kate Jackson. It just reiterated to me how good a film this is. It's good! Honest!
