They had me at Ben Foster and Tommy Lee Jones. I'd watch either of them act out a bread recipe over anything Hollywood has put out the last 20 years.
Anyone else who has lived long enough to understand that statement will probably like this movie. Others, not so much.
I read somewhere this was a made for TV movie. I couldn't tell. The quality was big screen worthy.
Also, real fishermen may or may not find fault with the technicalities. (I was in the medical profession and find medical inconsistencies on film yank me out of the required suspension of disbelief easily so I avoid those types of movies.)I enjoyed the glimpse into the fishing lifestyle.
It was a decently strong story, good acting,good cinematography, and decent directing. Not as strong as the movie "The Perfect Storm" but still a very worthy watch.
P. S. BTW, for people dissing on the accents.....Ben Foster is from Massachusetts.
