I had fairly low expectations for this movie. Russel Crowe seems to be trying hard to join the weirdo Hollywood film star clique these days. This movie was surprisingly good though. I never had the emotional attachment to it that I got with gladiator, but it was well acted. The story was a little choppy in spots, but overall it flowed good. I don't consider this a spoiler..if you are into sailing, and sailboats, this is a very interesting movie from a technical standpoint. If you've ever considered sailing off into the sunset for adventure, this movie will feed that part of your psyche. Really not a bad job at all. I might actually buy this one to get my sailing fix when I can't leave the lazy boy.
