Too few of Hollywood's recent offerings can boast such a simple throughline and know when to wrap it up.

A remarkable tale, confusingly told. Impressive storm sequences and a very good Pine almost save the day.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday

Maybe it's just the History Channel junkie in me, but I would much rather be seeing a documentary about this mission than a trumped-up drama featuring brand-name actors and CGI squalls.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten
It feels like a parody of a prestige film, like one of the fake Oscar trailers in "Tropic Thunder."
