It's affecting stuff -- there are few things more moving than tough men getting emotional.

This is a workmanlike iteration somewhat ploddingly true to its genre, from the style of lighting used for the interviews, to the sweeping, keening strings-led soundtrack, to the almost shocking moments of humour and honesty.

Rated: 3/5

Not unenjoyable, just not as enjoyable as it could've been.

there is no definitive answer whether Chris died. At the hour mark, the truth is revealed, and it is so elemental, simple and dramatic with none of the dramatics of the movie, which proves that you do not need big names or special effects

It’s pretty underwhelming despite the intensity of its story.

Outstanding re-creation of a little known true story and unexplained miracle in the North Sea. Suspenseful and captivating. Terrific acting. One of Woody's finest roles.
