in that movie.Anyway, this is a story long overdue and I'm glad someone finally told a great story of it. Very good directing!Thanks to all who took part in this film, I truly appreciate the effort and applaud you and this awesome film!

was enough here to give the viewer a solid sense of it's significance. A tragedy in many ways, it also captures the true heroism of this crew.

somewhat heartfelt film.

one. Good dialog, expansive treatment, great sweeping camera angles, and a real period treatment to the camaraderie between the seamen before they shipped out. Great color, costumes--for a "low budget film", this seemed like a blockbuster in terms of production values.Not knowing anything about the original true story, I also did not have my finger on some Google page, checking facts while watching, but just enjoyed the movie, which took its time and treated the subject with much drama and dignity as ANY war movie. Excellent.Recommended for non-cynical types!

history of Captain McWay yes you can read in wikipedia about him as this film was based on true events and quite honoring the actual events . It was sad seeing his life story but also glad at the end. The movie had a lot of touching moments especially when they relate to those crew and the captain. The relationship between the crews, the sacrifice and even the love triangle between Bama, Mike and Clara were also nice to see. This movie was not having a large budget like other blockbuster movies and therefore please do not expect very high tech special effects. But that was not the main attraction anyway. So if you are looking for the kind of war movie with war scenes and cool special effects, perhaps the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor may suit you better. But if you are looking for a survival drama, then this one would totally be satisfying. In addition to the touching moments, there were of course some fun moments and suspenseful moments at the sea involving sharks. Those definitely made the audience including my wife screamed at times.Overall, I think this movie is worth to watch. This prove that it does not have to have a high budget to produce a good movie. But then again, this is my personal view. As usual, people may not be able to appreciate certain movies which other found entertaining and vice versa.For my complete review, pls read in michaelnontonmulu.blogspot.co.id

obviously so. The characters are quite defined so you don't feel confused among the different characters - that helps a lot. The cast is likable enough and there is a connection to the characters. The sinking doesn't look too big budget but it's quite scary. The horrific shark experience in the water is handled well so that thing are tense and not repetitive. The deaths and rescue are surprisingly emotional. The infamous subsequent trial and court martial are shown but would have liked a bit more detail about the scapegoating. Some of the Japanes point of view is shown. Liked the postmortem at the end.The acting is fine and doesn't depend too much on Nicholas Cage. The supporting cast are okay with appearances from Matt Lanter of 90210 and Paul Walker's brother Cody.I would ignore the bad reviews and small opening and lack of marketing - this is a surprisingly good movie. Not a downward trajectory for Nic Cage's career as some may feel.

ur collection.don't read other review who suggest otherwise, watch the trailer, read the summary, watch the movie and form ur own opinion about this movie.enjoy.regards.
