Try as it might this isn't very good

Warning: Spoilers
Captain seeks to be reinstated when his first trip goes wrong and people are killed and the cargo is lost. The film is the captains recounting of his story. Slow creaky tale isn't very good. Part of the problem is this film just sorts of ping pongs around with some odd twists and turns including a female stowaway, amnesia, a song out of nowhere, and a last minute revelation that makes zero sense especially in light of who is doing the revelation. I would almost think this was made up on the fly. While the scatter shot nature keeps you watching because you don't know whats going to happen next, its also rather like watching a train wreck because its not very good. The performances are mixed at best, the lack of music works against it and the setting is often an obvious set. Give them points for piling twists on but this is probably too long even at 50 minutes.I'd take a pass.
