Well-made adaption of the best-selling non fiction book succeeds in being extremely suspenseful even when the final outcome is known. Characters are a little sketchy, though, and they don't come nearly as close as they could have to capturing the horror and ferocity of the sea as the book did. Diane Lane is very good in a supporting role of one of the women back home, although she looks a little too glamorous to be hanging around a bunch of smelly fishermen.
