The main character of the picture (S. McQueen) is not this vessel mechanic and tries not to interfere in interethnic conflicts between the Americans and the Chinese, but by chance falls into the whirlpool of events. He is directly or indirectly implicated in the deaths of two crew members and undermines team morale. The situation is out of control, the team is not subject to the captain, the captain is on the verge of suicide, and the sailors are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. In addition, a revolutionary coup is brewing in China, and all Americans are expelled from the country, and sailors are provoked to aggression.
Although the film goes long enough, almost 3 hours, but you will not regret the time spent, since this seemingly adventure tape turns into a fascinating military drama, with the play of young Hollywood celebrities:
C. McQueen (The Moth, The Thomas Crown Scam (1968), The Magnificent Seven...)
R. Krenna (Without Guilt, Rambo 3, Hot Heads 2...)
R. Attenborough (Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 2, Elizabeth...)
K. Bergen (Sex and the City, Miss Congeniality, Space Odyssey 2010...)
In this film, everyone will find something for themselves.
Here is a love story, and funny, sometimes funny moments of communication between the American team and the ubiquitous Chinese, reaching to boxing matches. And sea battles...
In general, there is only one thing, except for computer graphics.
