The Perfect Storm (2000)


A disaster directed by Wolfgang Petersen, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg.
A fishing boat sets out on a job and catches fish, but on the way back, a storm waylays them.
There was a lot of animalistic shouting, as with any disaster film. I didn't find it very interesting at all. The plot was simplistic and the characters even simpler. The style looked like it meant to be a box office cash register breaker and the production value seemed similar. There was "doing important things" music with strings and brass and "disaster theme" music with drums added. I think the whole deal was a cheap ploy to make money. I'm rating it poor for not being about making a good movie.
