Synopsis: Jack Miller (Daniel Gillies) is a lawyer based in Tokyo, Japan. His client, Eiji Saito (Ryo Ishibashi), is in trouble and Jack requests a meeting to discuss options. Eiji wants the meetings to take place on his boat with his wife Yuri Saito (Yoshino Kimura) in attendance. In Dream Cruise, however, here are three problems with this plan. First, Jack is completely terrified of water from a past experience when his younger brother died while boating. Second, Jack is having an affair with Yuri, and Eiji knows about it. Third, the place that Eiji is taking them happens to be where his first wife suddenly disappeared.

Thoughts: I liked Dream Cruise. It is not my favorite but it is viewable. Again, Ryo Ishibashi shines in his role and Yoshino Kimura did very well. As a matter of fact, the entire Asian cast made Daniel Gillies look like a high school thespian thrown amongst Oscar winners. The only thing that might turn some people off is the fact that if you have seen one modern Japanese ghost story you have seen them all. One malcontent spirit with really long black hair attacks those who enter the cursed area that is also her domain. Sounds familiar and can get tiring, but Dream Cruise is only an hour long so it is actually pretty good. Questions or comments about Dream Cruise?  Contact us!
