Dark Harbor is a 1998 thriller film directed by Adam Coleman Howard starring Alan Rickman, Norman Reedus and Polly Walker.
[1] David Weinberg (Alan Rickman), a lawyer in his 50s, and his much younger wife Alexis (Polly Walker), drive through a torrential rainstorm to get the last ferry to their private island.
They catch sight of an injured young man (Norman Reedus) at the side of the road, whom they reluctantly drive to the nearest town.
In an attempt to make up for his displays of temper, David arranges a romantic sailing excursion, but this goes terribly wrong when they encounter a fogbank and run aground.
David invites the young man to stay for dinner that night to sample his own cooking in a challenge, then leaves to play golf.
Alexis and the man waste time together while downing a bottle of whiskey, talking about themselves and dressing up for fun in the boat house.
"[2] Leonard Klady of Variety wrote, "The picture feels slow and overtly moody at times but stops short of trying one’s patience or creating frustration by tossing in too many red herrings.
