Finest Hours

January was a slow month for movies. Many of the movies I want to see are not coming to our town, and my schedule makes going elsewhere harder. "Spotlight" and "Brooklyn" are still on the radar.

We did get to take in "Finest Hours", the true story of an unbelievable ocean rescue by the Coast Guard during a violet winter storm. It is an enjoyable and fast moving story with scenes that seem totally real.  I felt wet and tired at the end!  I will say that after Revenant and Hateful 8 I now expect all movies to show the character's breath when cold, and they should be totally wet when in the boat. This movie was not like those. Good popcorn movie.

I give it **1/2 stars. 2016 movie #3
