It's a pity this oceangoing adventure wasn't fully appreciated during its theatrical release in 1996, if only because its climactic storm sequence (hence the movie's title) was awesome on the big screen and inevitably less impressive on video. Mixed reviews also curtailed its box-office potential, but as you might expect from Ridley Scott--the director of Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise--this is a beautifully photographed movie that will thrill anyone who is drawn to the romance and danger of the open sea. The story is a rite-of-passage adventure for a group of high school boys who spend their senior year as the crew-in-training on the Albatross, a sailing vessel skippered by an experienced sailor and schoolmaster (Jeff Bridges) who teaches hard lessons of teamwork and individual responsibility. As they sail to the tip of South America and back, the young men face many challenges that will shape their character, in addition to the carnal pleasures of shore leave in exotic ports of call. It's a traditional story, and Scott doesn't bring anything particularly new to this sailboat variation of Dead Poets Society and Scent of a Woman. But as a coming-of-age drama White Squall is professionally crafted and filled with vital energy, featuring a talented cast of newcomers (led by Scott Wolf of TV's Party of Five) who rise to the demands of this rousing and life-changing adventure. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars One to actually buy.......2007-08-24

Excellent movie. Life is hectic these days, as we all know. This films gently reminds us to consider what truly makes a difference. Taking place in what is oft referred to as a 'simpler time,' not much has actually changed. In spite of what we may think these days, we don't need much, as humans. Lacking an iPod won't kill us. But, we do need to remember our humanity, and all that it entails and demands of us.

Apart from that, as long as we're on the subject of sailing, there is also "Wind." Also excellent, and slightly less tragically serious.

And, of course, the classic, "Captain Ron." The ultimate sailing film, it should be part of everyone's library.

It's a great movie. Kinda old, but it's fun to watch all the big name actors when they're young and not so great.

5 out of 5 stars A great movie.......2007-02-24

White Squall is a wonderful, warm movie. It takes place on the sea, in the 1960's, but it is not just about being asea. It is about a group of young teens who learn quickly what is needed to grow up. Very tastefully done. My husband shows it to his high school ROTC cadets as well

3 out of 5 stars White Squall.......2007-01-25

Lots of character development - action.
Story was very cool but we are sailors, so any sailing movie is great.
Jeff Bridges was OK as captain, but they could have chosen a better lead.
