The Perfect Storm (2000)

Cast: George Clooney (Capt. Billy Tyne), Mark Wahlberg (Bobby Shatford), Diane Lane (Christina 'Chris' Cotter), John C. Reilly (Dale 'Murph' Murphy)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Perfect Storm page.

The book was pretty interesting. The movie of The Perfect Storm didn't intrigue me as much. It seemed that they decided to drop the intensity of the story and concentrate on the special effects. Perhaps if I'd been forced to sit really close to the front of the theatre it would have been more interesting (though my neck would have hurt).

The acting is good, but the story is lacking in the movie version of The Perfect Storm. An okay rental idea. Or, if you like to read, check out the book and think of skipping the movie.

Grade: C+
