Great saturday afternoon flick.
By Gary Brechin from South Shields, England , 19 Oct 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
There has been a lot wrote about this movie being pro American etc... But I just was totally engrossed with it. Steve Mcqueen is excellent as usual, the story just unfolds in an era which I didn`t know much about, but trust me a real good watch and I`m not even old book your saturday afternoon now.- Was this review helpful to you?

(13)A powerful yet subtle performance by McQueen; Bergen at her loveliest
By CarlHalling (12 reviews) from Greater London Urban Area , 01 Apr 2012I watched this movie as a kid with a close friend - and I think also his dad - and it made a massive impression on me. Steve McQueen delivers what I think is among his best and most subtle performances as the complex young seaman Jake Holman. The romantic moments between McQueen and a breathtakingly lovely young Candice Bergen are genuinely touching, the chemistry between them so gentle, yet so intense, they make a fabulous couple. Harrowing in parts, and ultimately tragic, this is '60s epic film-making at its best.- Was this review helpful to you?

Classic Adventure Film
By GaryI (785 reviews) from March, Cambs , 28 Nov 2009Film Retrospective: Nominated for 9 Oscars in 1966 including Best Film & Best Male Actor this is one of those films that makes you cry out, why don't they make 'em like this anymore. Set in China in 1926 it tells the story of the crewe of a small patrol boat caught up a revolution, and how loyalties become divided in the confines of the ship. Top cast and brilliantly directed, this is a great adventure film; the sort Ridley Scott does so well today. Never seen this? Well its a classic, you'll not be disappointed.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Sand Pebbles - yawn
By GillyD (5 reviews) from Lymm , 24 May 2009Steve McQueen must have been short of work when he accepted his role in this film. I found it dull, dull, dull from beginning to end. None of the characters was engaging, the plot was dreary and lacked pace. It was a waste of life to watch this to the end.
The only redeeming feature was that it is one of very few films which suggest that American forces are not always top-notch, well-polished and ready to save the world.- Was this review helpful to you?
