Honor, Courage and Duty

This is a moving story of honor, courage and duty to one's homeland and to one's shipmates. It is moving, not uplifting. The price of duty, even though honorable and showing great courage is not always pretty as this film depicts. Harrison Ford gives one of his most realistic performances though not one of his most charismatic (which is loyal to his character). Liam Neeson's character must show all the human qualities that Ford's captain can not, because Ford is the captain and Neeson understands this point. Both actors are brilliant in this respect. Don't wait for this film to jump up and grab you. Just let it work on you. The images will stay with you. Try to watch some of the specials they are showing on TV about the actual event. It will make this film even more closer and moving.
