A good movie that is worth watching but a very very watered down Perfect Storm type movie that I'm not sure I'd watch again.

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2016)

"We can't leave them out here alone, that boat won't last. We all live or we all die." Bernie Webber (Pine) is a member of the Coast Guard that does everything by the book. After word of a drowning ship gets to the guard the only boat they have left is a tiny 12 person craft. Against all odds, and the advice of his superiors, Bernie and his 4 man crew set out in the middle of cold winter night to rescue a group of men clinging to hope. I was looking forward to this movie. I really liked the Perfect Storm and was hoping for something similar. Before watching I wondered why this one seemed to come and go so fast without any real hoop-la. After watching I understood why. This is a good movie and for the most part I did enjoy it but it was lacking something the Perfect Storm had; drama and emotion. The fact that this is a true story helps a little and does add something but to me this was just a little to generic and "Disney-fied" to have any real punch. That hurt the movie for me. Overall, a good movie that is worth watching but a very very watered down Perfect Storm type movie that I'm not sure I'd watch again. I disappointingly give this a B-.
