Trivia:
Towards the end of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's emotional speech in the church at Gloucester, her microphone picked up her pounding heartbeat. Director Wolfgang Petersen liked the effect, so it remains audible on the soundtrack. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: When the Andrea Gail and its sister ship, the Hannah Bowden, enter Gloucester Harbor together at the beginning of the movie, the Leisure Casino Cruises casino boat is visible tied up at a pier in the background. However, Leisure Casino Cruises did not start running out of Gloucester until 1998. moreQuotes:
Bobby Shatford: I got a woman who I can't stand to be two feet away from.Captain Billy Tyne: Congratulations.
Bobby Shatford: Then again, I love to fish.
Captain Billy Tyne: Son, you've got a problem.

I like films like this. The characters have depth and are interesting or likeable. The whole film has that gritty, gray look to it. There's no generic hero type and the bad guy is the storm. Peterson did a great job with this film. I believe it is his best directorial job. The movie is well cast and my only negative thing is that the great Christopher McDonald was hardly used at all (almost just a cameo). This is a great movie for DVD. Good effects, acting, and music. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it highly.
