Obviously this film is attempting to convey some kind of moral message. Yet, the only message it really gives is that she would have been way better off to report the refugee boat and move on. She accomplished absolutely nothing. In fact she might have even sent more people to their watery graves by approaching the boat.

Are we to believe that many of the people on board have Ebola or something? Also wouldn't a refugee boat be in the Mediterranean instead of out in the Pacific off the West Coast of Africa?

The worst part is the ending. She is just all stoic and shocked maybe, so I assume the viewer is supposed to feel guilt or remorse?

This film I think is a huge failure because I care less about the refugees now then I did before I saw this.

Yep, nothing you can do. Thanks for the lesson guys.

The only thing I did like was the lack of music. I actually appreciate the realism that a soundtrack with very little to no music creates. I am also tired of the weird synth music that so many movies are full of lately, which seemed to have started with Interstellar.
