Trivia:
The first movie the crew of the Andrea Gail watches right before Bobby confronts Billy, is Pale Rider (1985).

Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the middle of the storm, the TV in the Gail's lower room keeps showing a perfect image - because it's playing a video. And while the anchor bracket for the TV isn't visible, it could be behind the TV, much like a removable car stereo.

I like films like this. The characters have depth and are interesting or likeable. The whole film has that gritty, gray look to it. There's no generic hero type and the bad guy is the storm. Peterson did a great job with this film. I believe it is his best directorial job. The movie is well cast and my only negative thing is that the great Christopher McDonald was hardly used at all (almost just a cameo). This is a great movie for DVD. Good effects, acting, and music. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it highly.
