A decorated Coast Guard search and rescue specialist still haunted by the death of his teammates during a disastrous mission off the coast of Alaska is charged with the task of training the next generation of Coast Guard rescue swimmers in director Andrew Davis' ocean-bound adventure drama. Ben Randall (Kevin Costner) was the best swimmer of his graduating class, but upon surfacing as the sole survivor of an Alaskan rescue mission attempted during a Category Three storm, his outlook on life has grown increasingly jaded. Now, as hotshot young swimmer Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher) arrives at Coast Guard rescue school looking to accomplish something meaningful with his life, he will be forced to endure the rigorous training methods of a man who expects nothing less than the very best in order to become a member of one of the most elite rescue squads on the planet. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In the stomach-turning tradition of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hostel, and Jeepers Creepers comes the direct-to-video slasherfest Blood Ranch, starring James Fitzpatrick, Madeleine Lindley, Dayton Knoll, and Daniel O'Meara. A group of co-eds on a cross-country desert journey save a young woman from an imposing black van. Shortly afterward, their car mysteriously breaks down and they are forced to seek asylum at a nearby ranch. Little do they realize that it houses denizens of "The Web" -- a twisted allegiance of psychopaths, sexual predators, and mentally impaired subhuman maniacs who devote their lives to finding unsuspecting young men and women to systematically imprison, torture, and dismember. Their latest captors will be forced to claw their way out in a bloody battle to the death -- if they hope to ever see the outside world again. Corbin Timbrook directs, from a script by Antonio Hernandez. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
