The Finest Hours

Synopsis: On Feb. 18, 1952, a massive storm splits the SS Pendleton in two, trapping more than 30 sailors inside the tanker's sinking stern. Engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) bravely takes charge to organize a strategy for his fellow survivors. As word of the disaster reaches the Coast Guard in Chatham, Mass., Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff orders a daring rescue mission. Despite the ferocious weather, coxswain Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) takes three men on a lifeboat to try and save the crew against seemingly impossible odds

I GIVE THIS MOVIE 5.5 OUT OF 10.

My Review:

This movie was like all disaster films where something goes wrong to the isolated crew and a rescue effort is made. So really nothing made this movie stand out from all the rest. It was just an interesting true story. I was more interested with what was going on with Casey Affleck and the tanker than what was going on with Chris Pine and the rescue mission. I think that was because with the tanker it was more action and fast paced compared to Chris Pine's story which was slow and a bit pathetic at times. Overall, it was an interesting story but not noteworthy.
