Bernie Webber (Pine) is a simple man. He follows the rules and does not like to hurt anyone. But one night his whole life is turned upside down with a storm that is about to hit Cape Cod, where he works as a Coast Guard. Due to Daniel Cluff's (Bana) inexperience as Webber's commander, he tries to prove who's in charge and sends Webber and others out to rescue two ships that split in half during the storm. Everyone says it's a suicide mission, but Webber always follows the rules. Despite his impending fear and outspoken fiancé's resistance, he makes his way into the storm to do his job.
The special effects of this film were amazing and I really admired the change in the typical character for Pine. In the movies that I've seen him in, he usually is this cocky, narcissistic, good looking character who takes charge. But in this film, Pine is more of a push over and tries to make everyone happy. It's pretty cute actually. Think of him as the strong silent type.
Besides Pine's character, I also loved his fiancé. Holliday Grainger plays Miriam who is far from the typical 50's housewife. She's outspoken and does what she wants no matter what people think. Definitely the opposite of Bernie. Makes sense as to why they go together.
I thought this film was great with it's special effects and the obstacles that these men had to go through. Not to mention it is a true story, which makes it better. I recommend people seeing this film if they want something different than what's out at the moment. 4 popcorns.
