Review

How about making a disaster movie by amalgamating Airport, The Poseidon Adventure and Jaws? If such an idea sounds too good to be true, it’s probably because the filmmakers won’t be able to transcend the teenage fantasy survival tale that such a combo positively screams, as demonstrated here. Like many a lower-budget disaster film, No Way Up alternates repeatedly between fairly tense, well thought out elements, and moments of completely irrational silliness. The result is that the film never really elicits any sort of true suspense, despite some fine special effects and a moving performance from young Grace Nettle in an otherwise lacklustre cast.
