The Finest Hours (2016)

An average movie

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Disney+, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I always had a weak spot for this kind of rescue stories and this one was just quite amazing. Unfortunately, the introduction was rather weak though.
