Review of The Finest Hours (2016) by Acacia — 06 Feb 2016

I was excited to see this movie, especially since it is based on a true story. And, honestly, if you didn't know it was true, you never would believe it! Chris Pine and Casey Affleck are very good in their roles as the Coast Guard that attempts the "most daring rescue mission at sea ever" (or words to that effect) and the person aboard the tanker who can think outside the box for a solution to a horrific dilemma, respectively.

For me, the movie was a little too long and too repetitive. And, I thought Pines's girlfriend was very annoying. I did not leave the theater with strong feelings one way or the other about this movie.

I likely would have survived just as well not seeing it. But, I will say that watching it on the big screen would be way more exciting than watching it on DVD.
