The rescue was great, but the movie didn't

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2020)

The Finest Hours is a biographical thriller movie directed by Craig Gillespie and stars Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Eric Bana and Holliday Grainger in the leads.
The movie is based on a real incident about saving life of 32 crew men when there ship broken into two when their ship got hit by cyclone.
The plot is fascinating and I was expecting a great rescue movie and it was going as a great rescue movie until the director decided to introduce over dramatic melodrama.
Acting is good but some I feels Eric Bana is a great talent and could've been utilised better. Chris Pine was good and Ben Foster was ok. Casey Affleck acting was commendable. Holliday Grainger was charming but irritating.
Screenplay was ok but special effects were not convincing and in some scenes it looked like they were filming in a pond. Climax was good but too melodramatic.
A movie which deserved to be a good movie and could've been a good movie.
