Ólafur Darri Ólafsson is spectacular in such a difficult performance, one that purely relies on body language to show the depths of pain this guy went through to survive.

Our protagonist is watchable at all times thanks to a decent lead turn from Ólafsson, but remains hamstrung by Kormákur journeyman-like approach to an extraordinary triumph of human spirit.

There's such a broody feel to proceedings; it's not realism as such, because there are mournful sequences where the fishermen disappear into the ether of the Atlantic Ocean.

Director Baltasar Kormákur has recently made several action films but this picture is slower and more deliberate, presenting a realistic depiction of the incident.

While filmed on the sea for the first half, the pic is powerful. Problem is when it goes ashore for the second half it loses some of its power.
