George Clooney stars in this exciting film about a swordfish boat captain who unknowingly sails into the mother of all storms. It's based upon a true story which makes the fact that The Perfect Storm lacks substance forgivable. Its rather dull beginning leads to a tremendous climax. Adapted from the book by Sebastian Junger.
