While the ships wait at sea, they in effect serve as floating warehouses. That cost Iran a cool $1 billion in port surcharges last year. Perishable goods are lost. One freighter unloaded its cargo of rice, only to find that it had cooked into a giant pilaf in the steamy holds...
Rafelson works cool wizardry with actors, and there are many good performances here, especially by John David Carson as one of the country-club louts and Gary Goodrow as a manager-promoter.
