Great movie, particularly if you enjoyed Moby Dick or The Bounty. It's a beautifully shot period piece, well acted and generally well executed. I don't understand why the majority of reviews seem to criticise the film but I've watched it many times as I've read Moby Dick on multiple occasions. I enjoy these kind of seafaring movies, it's a great Sunday afternoon movie and I will no doubt watch it again and again in the future. 10/10 for me. You'll have to make your own mind up...
