“Harpoon” is an extraordinary horror-comedy film that emerged as one of the gems of 2019. Directed, written, and edited by the highly regarded filmmaker Rob Grant, this movie is bound to leave you on the edge of your seat. The story revolves around a group of friends who find themselves stranded at sea. As they navigate through their secrets, a tangled love triangle, and a long history of friendship, tensions rise to an unbearable level. The situation becomes even more volatile when a loaded harpoon enters the picture.

What is the Harpoon Movie About?

What follows is a thrilling and unpredictable chain of events as the characters are trapped together on a small vessel in the middle of the ocean. The confined setting intensifies the ever-growing sense of unease, as the film adeptly explores the concept of “what can go wrong will go wrong.” Harpoon showcases an exceptional blend of horror and comedy, delivering both heart-pounding moments and darkly humorous twists. Grant’s direction flawlessly captures the claustrophobic atmosphere, further enhancing the film’s gripping narrative.

If you’re a fan of suspenseful storytelling mixed with well-executed comedic elements, Harpoon is a must-watch. It guarantees a rollercoaster ride of emotions and a unique cinematic experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll. You know those movies you come across that create a bit of a snowball effect of misfortune? Well, strap in because the Harpoon movie 2019 is exactly that type of thing.

Do they make sensible decisions? Heck no. But that’s what makes this the type of story that makes you feel guilty for laughing. It’s the wicked undercurrent of events led by a well-constructed character-driven bloody mess. This is the type of dynamic that makes you wonder why you’re friends with certain people in the first place.

Harpoon is a story that you need to pay attention to. If Rob Grant is anything, one thing he’s not is a lazy writer. His work on other films that have been reviewed by Mother of Movies includes “Alive,” and “Fake Blood.” “Mon Ami” (reviewed by FlickFeast.com) is also a film Grant directed and wrote.

Grants’ ability to get up close and personal in his filmmaking is something I think stands out. The “Harpoon” movie is no different. His multi-faceted story writing brings fresh ideas to the playing field of film, yet encompasses a variety of genres. Grant begins with an opening shot of a scene later finalized in the final quarter. One of my favorite techniques for tension-building. The subsequent idyllic backdrop of a day cruise aboard a nice-looking vessel is the perfect single-location setting for the events to come.

The narrator for the film is a well-known comedian Brett Gelman, and it’s through his observational narratives that their backstories, quotes from nautical superstitions, and other witty comments bring the film to a heightened level of enjoyment.

This trio is the type that doesn’t go for talking things through. They prefer to indulge in ‘even stevens’ where the offending party gets a free punch. Later in the day when Jonah takes off his captain hat and dons a detective cap, things begin to take a turn for the unusual. With friendships of history, there is plenty to chew on. A multitude of events stemming long into the past combined with the ability to second guess how far the other might go causes a pressure cooker of mistrust.

Harpy Eagle

I thoroughly enjoyed may have looked away and gagged the use of uncomfortable scenarios involving an unlucky seagull and various displays of viciousness. The squeamish may not appreciate some of this so much. If three unlikeable characters stuck onboard a broken yacht with only condiments, a plastic container of water, some alcohol, plus a banana don’t sound like something you’d dig, give it a big pass.

Harpoon Gun – Richard

Played by Christopher Gray, this tight and brutal performance makes it seem like Richard has it all. A long-term girlfriend, and enough money to buy his way out of trouble. But can he buy his way out of being stranded at sea?

Sasha

Emily Tyra plays Sasha, the girlfriend of Richard. Who’s the third wheel in this friendship trio sandwich?

Jonah

Munro Chambers plays Jonah. In early scenes, he’s busy getting beaten to a pulp by his twitchy best friend. Is Richard just paranoid or is there something going on between Sasha and Jonah?
