Based on the best-selling novels of Patrick O'Brian, the film stars Russell Crowe as "Lucky" Jack Aubrey, who pits his crew of the H.M.S. Surprise against a much better armed and ruthless privateer, in a chase that takes him all the way to the far side of the world. Rising newcomer Paul Bettany ("A Beautiful Mind") plays the ship's surgeon Dr. Stephen Maturin.

MovieWeb Reviews:

"Slow and low in parts, but when it blazes, this film really shines."

- Brian Balchack

"If you’re a fan of Crowe and Weir, you won’t be disappointed. But if you’re a fan of a tight, concise story, you just might be disappointed. But Crowe and Weir are so great that you’ll hardly notice the shoddy story and most likely will be thoroughly entertained. "

- Brian Gallagher
