This is a true story of three men that stuck together and survived 1,000 + miles at sea in a small raft. After realizing that they couldn't locate their carrier, fuel running out and then ditching in the Pacific they survived. This is a small movie with good actors showing the spirit of the young lads in WWII . Overall this is a well made movie with little special effects or anything of that nature. The actors portrayed their characters very excellent and you could feel their desperation and then guts while pulling together. It's a true depiction of how certain people rise above fear and did not give up. Knowing this was a true story made it even more enjoyable.

Good Movie about brave men
Its okay
It feels like a TV movie, but that being said it is a very interesting story. Maybe a little long, some scenes could have been cut shorter. But all in all I liked it. I also have to admit that I really like survival movies :-)
Hen-reeeeeeeeeeeee! Hen-ree Al-drich!
This is based on a true story of three US servicemen who land their plane in the sea, get out into a raft and manage to survive without eating each other, although it was discussed with Tom Felton looking like lunch. They play the blame game for a little bit, do some interesting stuff to survive, and lay around like Robert Redford. Action wise, it wasn't that great. Character wise it was so-so. But with the Hollywood focus on real American war heroes, people are heaping praise because it may be expected of them. I hated "All is Lost." I found it boring. This was a little better because there was some dialogue, but face it, it is another story about guys lost at sea floating in a raft. True or not, I simply don't find it entertaining even if it was JFK. Great film, if you're into this kind of stuff.
Was that an anachronistic nylon zipper on their survival kit pack?
