A depressing and frustrating tale of a lonely sailor, who struggles to survive at open sea in his damaged yacht. Surprisingly, the film discusses the limit and length of "giving-up" of a rather resourceful man who by- and-by accepts that he won't make it against the odds.
Beautifully filmed, cleverly sound-mixed... and Robert Redford is phenomenally "our man", literally. The director, J. C. Chandor, who although didn't achieve quite the mark of his debut feature ( Margin Call ) but nevertheless, made something which has such a unique, subtle appearance that no matter how mundane the flow is (with almost the absolute absence of dialogues), a viewer would be vying for our man till the very end.
Not for all viewers, but the ones with the will to watch something conventional "revisited" will appreciate it more.
