It just seems like this movie wanted to be a cheap shark attack movie rather than an actual historical drama with some weight to it.

Nick Cage gives it his best, Thomas Jane is merely on screen for a few minutes and some of the supporting cast gives it their best but this is just a really cheap and poorly made film with cheap Sharknado special effects and an overall cheap overall film. It just seems like they only wanted to skip the historical aspect of this film to make a generic shark movie. If you want a good adaption of this, watch Jaws and listen to Quint's monologue about the Indianapolis.… Expand

Would have been a great movie if not for several discrepancies that writers & directors should have caught or known better.

In the 20's & 30's when he would have been educated, the left hand was commonly tied behind a child's back to force right-handedness. This would have been especially true of a black child.

Actually cringe-worthy, starting with a script which seems not to know what to do with the true story, and provides dialogue that makes the already awful cast sound like they just dropped by from the local mall rather than weary combatants inActually cringe-worthy, starting with a script which seems not to know what to do with the true story, and provides dialogue that makes the already awful cast sound like they just dropped by from the local mall rather than weary combatants in a war 70 years ago. Nicholas Cage furrows his brow admirably, but is as phony as the second rate special effects. What a disgrace that Hollywood has managed to turn a true and tragic incident into a C grade TV movie with the production value of 'Sharknado', and at least that one was intentionally humorous.… Expand
