Based on a true story, The Finest Hours details a 1952 Coast Guard rescue of the crew of the SS Pendleton during a horrible winter storm off the New England coast. Buoyed by some nice special effects, the film is well-acted, yet never quite does enough to escape the generic nature presented by director Craig Gillespie. Nothing about The Finest Hours stands out in any way which isn't to say that the film doesn't work. The flick is perfectly watchable, yet it never once feels special, unique, or important in any way. (Sort of like this generic review which is just one of many of a backlog of reviews that have been sitting in my drafts section for weeks now.) The Finest Hours is a perfectly streamable film, but you won't walk away feeling the need to rave about it to anyone.
