Title: A terrific movie! But don't expect Pirates of the Caribbean
Review: I've read all the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian, and this movie stays true to their style. This is not a swashbuckler. It is the story of the extraordinary friendship of two men set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. The movie, like the books, is in no rush to tell the tale. In fact, the sometime slow pace of the movie adds to the feeling of authenticity. This is a great movie, but the hardcore action movie buffs will probably be disappointed.
