Ben
Meyers’ rating: 3.2|5.0 Stars ììì
The Finest Hours—boring,
slow—requires stronger acting in nearly every character. The secondary love
story weaving under the primary drama doesn’t have the ‘pop’ necessary to
support the drama.
Storyline
Bernard
‘Bernie’ Webber (Chris Pine), who works for the United States Coast Guard,
wants to marry Miriam Webber (Holliday Grainger), but first he has to get
affirmation from his commanding officer Daniel Cluff (Eric Bana). Before he can
consolidate his plans, he is called to duty to rescue the men on the SS
Pendleton, a ship that has sheared in half during a terrifically deadly winter
ocean storm.
Additional Thanks
Good
Work for Director Craig Gillespie. Thank you to Executive Producer Douglas C.
Merrifield for making the film possible. Additional characters/cast include: Ray
Sybert (Casey Affleck), Richard Livesey (Ben Foster), and Wallace Quirey (John
Ortiz).
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe.
There are stronger love stories out there and definitely stronger action
stories.
