Warning a spoiler I tell the ending. This is not a bad movie I gave it a seven. The first part of the movie sets the seen and thats ok. There is a but here and the but is, when they head for the bar after a long time on the boat, the personal life character development stuff starts to get boring. When will they get back on the I was thinking after about 5 minutes to much about there sex lives, girl friends, and talking. When they get back on the boat the film picks up, and the interest of them getting a good catch, along with the riggers of job.
The best part of the movie, and what I spent the money for is when the storm starts. It's a story like Jack Londons "To build a Fire" will they survive, and over come the natural problems nature throws at them? Will the rescue team arrive in time? What makes this film interesting is they turn the boat around and try to save there lives. Like Jack Londons to build a fire, they die in the ending, and its a good change from by the numbers hollywood endings, this adds realism. They tie the ending up nicely with a wall where the history of fisher men lost to the sea honors them, and shows there a part in history. Coming from Nova Scotia roots I can really appreciate this story about the sea.
