Some guy gets his family blown up by terrorists and decides to do something about it. To be honest, this I think in the right hands this might work but here it sure doesn't. The pure stupidity of the movie is astonding. Not a frame goes by without a cliche. This is pure garbage. And lastly, why did they have to make a rebel organization? Were they worried about lawsuits from the FARC?

The Perfect Storm
(2000)
This movie is all wet
24 December 2002
The Perfect Storm by Sebastion Junger is my favorite book. On the other hand, this movie stands with Pearl Harbor and the Great Gatsby as the worst films cinema has offered me. The plot is known to millions that read the best selling novel. The characters are cliches. The screenwriters, in a misguided attempt to spice up what in reality was a rather uneventful fishing trip, added in a dumb fishermen hate each other subplot. If they were going to mess with established facts, they should have thrown in Iraqi and Irish terrorists, giant ship hunting sharks, and the vengeful ghost of the Titanic. Other all there were some things that really bugged me about this movie. One, the actor who plays Alfred Pierre, employs an extremely un-Jamaican accent. Two, the movie starts off with a wall with the names of dead fishermen on it. Is the director trying to say something? Three, to the best of my knowledge, Bob Brown was not the heartless boat owner who cares more about fish than men. This was one bad movie.
