Two legendary actresses are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie detective story.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The lead actor provides excellent performance in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the captain of an commercial transport hijacked by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a sensational film debut as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's thriller, derived from real events.
