A good script can sometimes be held hostage by the performances. Harpoon relies heavily on the strength of its three leads to carry not only the film's suspense but also the characters’ internal hypocrisy. The leads here do not let the script down.

You may realize there’s not much to Harpoon as it sails off into the sunset, but that’s OK. This is one of those movies where the journey truly is the destination.

Rob Grant’s horror-comedy may only have a run time of 82 minutes, but thanks to its strong writing and tenacious performances from all three of its actors, it’s a dark, twisted tale that will have you hook, line, and sinker. This film could have easily gone off course and become another forgettable ‘stranded out at sea’ flick, but the talent showcased both in front and behind the camera are evidence this ship would have been hard to sink.

In terms **** out, bloody violent horror thriller film, this isn't bad. It keeps you guessing and there are some shocks and suddent action to take you by surprise. Its not constant or excessively over the top but what bloody violence there is, its pretty gory...think blood, self harm. There's some narration telling the viewer about supposed bad luck relating to historical events and pop culture. I don't know how accurate it is but its kind of interesting. Not the most original of this sort of film, its not the best but not the worst, if you know what I mean. It is darkly comic, very dark comedy but its there, yes. You may feel the ending to be a bit disappointing.

Listen carefully, and you can almost hear the enjoyably comic and nasty tone Harpoon was likely going for – before it drowned in a flood of unwatchable idiots.

It's also — for better and worse — never quite as grim as its grisly, sometimes gag-inducing action might suggest. Falling in between outright psychological combat and black comedy, Harpoon might flounder a bit without Gelman's ironic tone.

Some of the stylistic fillips feel excessive, and at the end of the day, this is just a tawdry, gory B-picture, with little to say about human behavior. But it’s often funny and generally suspenseful — a fine afternoon on the water, all things considered.
