Review of The Disappeared (2012) by Alan U — 29 Apr 2013
Every now and again, a film surprises you. The Disappeared does this.
This is a very good movie. It is realistic to a fault and anyone familiar with the East Coast and the life of seafarers will be awestruck.
The unfolding saga of six fishermen from a lost schooner takes place in two dories.
The challenges, both physical and mental are spellbinding; from weather, thirst, hunger, fatigue, the disheartening feeling of being totally lost in an endless ocean⦠this is a breathtaking film.
The relationships between the six men run through a roller coaster of raw emotions; camaraderie, loyalty, friendship⦠the characters are phenomenally well portrayed.
This film just nails it. Strikingly realistic and one of the most intriguing endings I've ever seen.
