A Fair Current.

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2016)

The title may have been The Finest Hour, however, the film itself didn't quite live up to the meaning.
A very wet, grey, cold, weirdly paced and overrun by jargon motion picture, that also suffered from lack of tying up knots, because it was so focused on measuring knots.
Was Chief Cluff's call based on knowledge or arrogance? Was his order to send out Bernie, right or wrong? Did he believe in Bernie's abilities, or was he really sending him out to cover his own ass?
Sure, there was a point where he voluntarily asked for Bernie's opinion... However, he showed him very little respect otherwise.
I don't know if in real life Ray Sybert was offered any recognition for the role he played, but, he was as big a hero as Bernie, and... I would've appreciated the movie highlighting that.
From there, Miriam's stringent persona was a delight, and Casey and Chris displayed very decent performances respectively. There were points as well where, even though the movie feels so cold, almost made your heart melt.
The cinematography could've been better I imagine, but, ultimately, satisfactory. The directing, was fairly dispatched and the score came to the rescue from time to time. Overall, this movie is a fine 7/10.
