| Pros |
Well done thriller with good cast. |
| Cons |
Pace is a little slower. Won’t appeal to some viewers. |
| Bottom Line |
Lifeboat won't appeal to all viewers, but it is very well done and deserves to be seen. |

| Pros |
Tallulah Bankhead plays a truly loathsome woman. |
| Cons |
Not a one, save for the simplistic story. But it really doesn't need embellishment. |
| Bottom Line |
A classic from the 1940's, it might be a bit dated now, but it's still a sharp, smart story about survival. |
