Perfect Storm, The

A major disappointment, this dramatization of a real-life 1991 boating tragedy plays like a high-brow version of Speed 2: Cruise Control. Whereas that movie was just an excuse to crash a cruise ship into a harbor, this film twiddles its dramatic thumbs until we finally get to those much-advertised killer waves. From nautical specialist Wolfgang Petersen; starring George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane.
