★☆☆☆☆
From a sailors prospective-
Spoiler Alert. From a sailors prospective, this film is tripe. The mistakes made are too numerous to mention, but lets go with a couple obvious ones: - No EPRIB on an ocean going vessel in the middle of the Indian Ocean...Please - No Handheld radio, $100 - an ocean sailor with no self steering? So I am to believe that he stayed awake 24/7? - how did the container crash through the bulkhead in calm seas, especially on the side of the boat- perhaps the bow but the side??? - how did the "crash" with the container disconnect the mast radio antenna cable. - No sailor leaves a hole with such a flimsy patch - No prepared abandon ship bag...in the open ocean? - Shaving before a storm...that would have been the time to deploy the storm sail (idiot). This is textbook. - what no automatic bilge pump- not even a $15 alarm!! - in the middle of a storm, this moron doesn't even replace the companionway boards. - what an ocean going, singled-handed sailor with no proper (inboard) jack lines, instead he cleats to the top lifeline. This would not have held his body weight while being dragged overboard (moron). - not once did he put on a life jacket- death wish perhaps? Not one life jacket in the whole movie. The life ring on the stern was not even salvaged as the boat was sinking (idiot). -What kind of idiot, attaches a line to the sinking boat while in a life boat, then goes to sleep. Lets not forget that the boat has about 6-9000 of ballast. The list goes on and on, "Our Man" was an amateur and far from the resourceful sailor the film portrays. At his skill level/level of preparedness he had No Business being on the open ocean. I did like how they shot from underwater, shooting up on the boat and raft, cool effect.
