During World War II, an American navy ship is sunk by a Japanese submarine leaving 300 crewmen stranded in shark infested waters.
The harrowing true story of the crew of the USS Indianapolis, who were stranded in the Philippine Sea for five days after delivering the atomic weapons that would eventually end WWII. As they awaited rescue, they endured extreme thirst, hunger, and relentless shark attacks.
The story of the USS Indianapolis was almost perfectly re-inacted and had some great effects. But the downside was that it was slow, it was hard to remain focussed on the movie because there was nothing happening for a while. There was this added part of the story where 2 sailors were in love with the same girl. I honestly think that added parts make a movie worse. In a movie we need the original story not some added things and a title to make a movie. Other movies like these have better reviews because it was faster and better. I rate this movie a 6/10 because the Special Effects, the SFX and the decor were pretty good. So was some parts of the story.
Years ago I read "Abandon Ship" the story of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis by Richard F. Newcomb. It 's not the book the film is based on.
In some ways that's a pity. Although Newcomb's book was first published in 1960, it is a masterly account of the disaster and recounted events that are not in the film. I always remembered his description of the strong swimmers who rode herd on their weaker comrades pulling them back when they drifted away until they themselves used up their reserves of energy and drowned - many of the bravest acts of WW2 were not necessarily in the heat of battle.
Somewhere along the way, much of the drama leaked from this film.
It's unusual these days to see a movie where the special effects are not absolutely dazzling. They might be a cut above the old Hollywood bathtub effects, but the limitations of the effects in this film draw attention away from the story.
But that isn't the key weakness in "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage".
Although Nicholas Cage gives a fine performance as Captain McVay, and the ending does have some punch, the filmmakers weren't content with what really happened, and added some very predicable fictional elements. Was it really necessary for Craig Tate and Johnny Wactor's characters to duplicate the scene from "Titanic" where Kate Winslet saves Leonardo DiCaprio from imprisonment in the nick of time? It's the forced backstories that rob the film of stature.
There was no need to expend so much energy on the fake elements. Here is a passage from Newcomb's book describing what happened when the pilot of the PV-1 Ventura who first spotted the men in the water, Lieutenant Gwinn, was taken aboard the hospital ship "Tranquility" and introduced to the survivors as the guy who found them.
"Men in all stages of recovery, some weak and hollow-eyed on their beds shouted cheered and whispered. Those who could, crowded around and thumped him on the back, laughing and jumping. Some merely turned their heads on their pillows and cried softly, and the quiet, reticent Gwinn himself broke down under the flood of emotion".
I think I would have had that scene in my movie.
As a movie, it lacks the unlimited manpower to equal Hacksaw Ridge, but as a dramatic postscript to the factors that led to Japanese surrender, its power and importance are undeniable.
