CGiii Comment

Strange - and not in a good way.

It has the most offensive opening titles ever witnessed. But don't let that put you off - the script and acting will do very convincing jobs all on their own.

The floating plastic arm will have you in stitches but the overt racism is, frankly, unacceptable.

The Japanese will be furious, the French livid, black, gay and Icelanders - will all take offence. And, so should the audience.

An epic tale about a group of whale watchers, whose ship breaks down and they get picked up by a whale fisher vessel. The Fishbillies on the vessel has just gone bust, and everything goes out of control.
