They say that every story about love, friendship and betrayal extols at its heart a key lesson in virtue and morality. This is not one of those stories. Jonah, Richard and Sasha have been friends a long time... maybe too long. Following a ferocious bust-up, Richard tries to make amends in the form of a sailing trip on his family yacht. After all, a friendship is the kind of ship that never sinks - until the yacht breaks down and the trio are left stranded in the middle of the ocean. As food and water supplies start to sink and rivalries, dark secrets and sexual tension start to surface, the question becomes: which of these three broken humans will run out of air first? 'Harpoon' is Edgar Allan Poe by way of 'Seinfeld' and an exercise in brilliant pacing, direction and acting. As the story takes darkly comedic and always unexpected turns, the three leads crescendo into a culmination of their respective crises of conscience - except the crisis here is that they have no conscience.
