Finest hours is an action drama movie which is directed by craig Gillespie.The story is straight forward and it tells about the most daring rescue mission in US.so without rvealing much story here is my review:
Review:
The finest hours has some powerful stars like Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, and Eric Bana. It tells the story of one of the most daring and dangerous U.S. Coast Guard missions in history as Bernie Webber, played by Pine, led a crew aboard a motor boat to save the survivors of the splitting of the SS Pendleton.
it’s unbelievable that this is even a true story. This movie makes you constantly thought yourself and engaged throughout the film that there’s no way they actually get through this alive. It’s even more amazing when you see the real life pictures and records of the events in the closing credits. It’s also one of those films that makes you enjoy your time away from the storms on water and appreciate every second on land. But besides the remarkable story, me and my friends got sucked in with the acting of Pine, Affleck, and Grainger. Grainger plays Pine’s love interest.Grainger was good in the role, but the time spent on the motor boat and Affleck’s crew on the ship was much more intriguing.
Another understandable complaint this film has been getting is its noticeable CGI. When you compare it to films like Life of Pi, Interstellar, or even Titanic from 20 years ago, it doesn’t even come close to holding its own against those. But with its lower budget and I think you can forgive some of its more obviously green screen moments. The film does have plenty of’true story moments’ used to bring our emotions to the breaking point, but I never felt like they over did it. I was so enthralled with what was happening that when the film does get to its emotional climax, I had to hold back tears. That’s a tribute to Gillespie’s direction and the incredible score by the newly Oscar nominated, Carter Burwell.
Positive:
Unbelievable story
Great lead performances
Timely score
Action

Cons:
CGI is not upto the mark
