8 October 2006. This predictable but interesting mainstream movie has Kevin Costner in is usual environment, playing the usual flawed though this time heroic Coast Guard savior. The stereotypical melodrama never quite appears on the screen fortunately and Ashton Kutcher gets a great come-back scene that hits a new level of mainstream quality for defying the ordinary, boring dramas of previous movies. The cinematography started well but didn't continue throughout the movie in its raw, daring, naturalistic form. Overall, this is a good, decent, improved version of action, thriller drama that we've seen before but better. Seven out of Ten Stars.
