Carroll Ballard brings his usual visual flair to this tale of ocean racing; it's just a shame the story is so hackneyed. Matthew Modine is the sailor, haunted by a mistake that cost his country the America's Cup, who gets another shot at wresting the trophy back from the Australians. Jennifer Grey is his old flame and the impressive support cast includes Cliff Robertson, Jack Thompson and Stellan Skarsgård. While the story remains on water Ballard doesn't put a foot wrong and there is some breathtaking racing footage, however on dry land the film flounders badly as trite sporting cliché.

Uninteresting and water-logged drama.

Good film if you are interested in sailing or aerodynamics. If not - it would not have enough sub-plot to keep you watching.
