    Storyline

    Edit
    The North Water tells the story of Patrick Sumner, a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship's doctor on a whaling expedition to the Arctic. On board he meets Henry Drax, the harpooner, a brutish killer whose amorality has been shaped to fit the harshness of his world. Hoping to escape the horrors of his past, Sumner finds himself on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath. In search of redemption, his story becomes a harsh struggle for survival in the Arctic wasteland.

    surprised me and went under my radar.
    Didnt expect to find this gem!, if you're bored like me and stumbled on this review, take a chance. It has good acting, great landscape scenes and a believable story. I bet this one is going to end up with at least an 8.00 out of 10 score-wise.

    Just raw 1800's whaling at its finest.
