Summary

Released in 1985, The Lightship is a crime, drama and thriller film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 7 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 13 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 14 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
