This movie did a good job in showing someones idea of a real test of manhood. Men, smart in every other way were put way over their heads in knowing what they were doing. Lousy planning, unprofessional arrangements, ended up being a disaster. The boat was way overloaded and experienced people would have struggled in the same situation. They did have a choice and could have refused to go but the powers that be put them in this situation and he also didn't have clue of what it was about. He just wanted to get their head in the room the hard way.....The court seen showed all the sides and came out balanced in sharing the responsibility.
Great lesson in making you smarter at what can happen if you don't do your homework.....well done...
