The Finest Hours
The worst thing about being in the Coast Guard is that the only bribes you ever receive are in the form of crustaceans.
Thankfully, all of the navel officers in this drama seem on the up and up.
On the day he's to ask his commanding officer (Eric Bana) permission to marry his fiancée (Holliday Grainger), First Mate Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) and a skeleton crew (Ben Foster, Kyle Gallner, John Magaro) are dispatched to a grounded oil tanker off Cape Cod.
But Bernie's tiny vessel, and the relentless nor'easter, could keep him from saving all 32 crewmembers (Casey Affleck, John Ortiz, Graham McTavish).
While it is a satisfying seafaring saga inspired by actual events from the 1950s, this Disney derring-do is never as harrowing as it should be, or as romantic as it tries to be.
Moreover, doesn't maritime law decree that Coast Guard officers can only marry mer-people?
