I suppose the real thing to take away from this is just hard it can be for folks to make a living running a small fishing boat. Thereafter it's a bland family drama about two half brothers caught up in a drug smuggling caper as they desperately try to keep their business afloat by picking up drugs that have been deposited out at sea and bringing them ashore. When one such shipment goes pear-shaped then the family encounter brutality of their unscrupulous partners, all whilst the coastguard - in the USA and Canada - start to make their presence felt too. Matters are also made worse by the fact that their father (Tommy Lee Jones) is diagnosed with cancer and the pair - "Tom" (Ben Foster) and "Charlie" (Toby Wallace) - are determined not to let him down. To be fair, it doesn't quite follow the usual shipping lanes but the acting - especially from Tim Daly and Jenny Ortega is pretty rotten and the dialogue the others are left with is hardly the stuff of a Pulitzer prize, There is some decent maritime photography and we do get a sense of just how vulnerable they are on the eponymous trawler as the seas get livelier, but sadly that's the only thing that gets lively and I'd recommend that
