The Perfect Storm

CriticsCritics: 53
AudienceAudience: 6.6

At the end of a difficult fishing season, a swordfishing crew heads into the North Atlantic hoping to secure a profitable catch. As several weather systems converge into a deadly storm, the crew, nearby vessels, and rescue teams face increasingly dangerous conditions at sea.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you want an intense, emotional survival drama driven by enormous waves and human courage; Not for you if you prefer subtle characters, restrained melodrama, or the lighter thrills of Twister.
