I imagine the writers freaking out in a board room. "It's a recession! Whatever pays the bills! I need to feed my family!" while an unhelpful VP delivers a copy of the game and says "It's all there, ladies and gentleman. Make showbiz magic!"

I refuse to title this as "this Battleship sinks" no I won't do it.

You certainly can’t accuse Battleship of taking the idea of adapting a board game to the big screen too literally. Indeed, the Hasbro board game is translated ever so literally to the cinematic language… read review
