When I saw the film, I realised I was wrong and surprise do such thing happen in real. I never saw its trailer or the teaser, but I knew about this project and after seeing its posters I though it would be about the offshore oil rig.

#OhLordy that was a good experience. First and foremost this film reminds me of Hacksaw Ridge, second and no less important it's just as good as the afore mentioned film in the sense that the main character is just as law-bound as the religious lad in Hacksaw going about his day saving people's lives in the middle of a hurricane, ergo in The Finest Hour's case while on sea - with a life-guard boat, just as feature-some as the soldier saving soldiers in the middle of a war without shooting a f#cking gun! And, supposedly, this happened in real life!

That much is clear. A rental, not a theater visit.

Nothing more than that, but nothing less either. Pacing is iffy, but the effects are excellent - from the ships to the water scenes, impressive! The (true) story, meanwhile, is as hearty as you'd expect.

A genuine triumph. I can't deny cinematography that belongs in a museum. Look, musical choices that perfectly complement the visuals.
