Surprisingly good film without the usual A-listers

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2016)

Rather pleasant film with Chris Pine, Casey Affleck and Eric Bana. What starts as quite a slow, sweet an meandering romance quickly ramps up as the film rolls on. Pine plays a sweet, under confident young man (very well) who grows in stature as the film progresses. Amusingly, Pine's character follows the same process ... it's almost as if the parts were written for them to show their acting prowess and emerge as heroes. It's sometimes hard to praise a movie like this - it's probably not going to win any Oscars, but it's well worth watching - some very very tense moments are portrayed with exceptional realism and finesse.
Don't pass this film up ...
