Quotes:
Captain Bob:
So, this is a reunion, huh?
Tim:
We all went to college together. Johnathan and Richard have known each other since grade school. We meet every year, somewhere.
Captain Bob:
It's nice, it's nice… It's good to catch up.
Tim:
Sure is.
Captain Bob:
I left school when I was 14. Sea kept me moving so I never had any reunions. Except with my wife after long fishing trips. She died 11 years ago. Cancer. So I spent most of my days out here, just drifting around trying to figure things out. I realized I was lucky to have felt something that looked or smelled… or resembled real love. Most folks never taste that.

User Review
emotionally draining
Rating: 8/10
i have tried to avoid using any spoilers but i did not want any
inference to be taken from what i write. i saw this movie at Sundance
with my wife. while leaving the theater after the end of the movie my
wife asked me what i thought. i literally could not get any words out.
between having a lump in my throat from fighting back tears and being
on sensory overload i could not speak for a good ten minutes. i can
honestly say that i have never even come close to having such a
reaction from a movie. the combination of the excellent 80's punk rock
sound track and the frenetic shooting style elevated the anxiety level
to a fever pitch. when things start to spiral downward it is hard to
recover. this movie is not for the faint of heart but i highly
recommend seeing it.
