Great atmosphere, mediocre script
19 March 2010 | by (Philly) – See all my reviews

The acting is decent, the story is believable, the characters are convincing, the script is mediocre, but the photography and visuals are stunning. The story is as much about life on the island as it is about the main character(s), and the plot synopsis says it all. There's nothing to "spoil". I've never lived on an island off the Maine coast or fished for lobster, or built a boat, but after watching this film I can appreciate all those things more, even if there are some inaccuracies. If you like "atmosphere" in a film, this has it. By the second hour, you can smell the lobster pots and diesel fumes. My only reason for giving it a 7 instead of 9 or 10 is the clunky script.
