All these critics and people on here are bagging this film. I get it, you want action, twists, a plot that goes along quickly and more, more, more. Well don't watch this movie then. Simple really.

If you approach a film with the right mindset (like this one) and don't expect to be blown away you can actually enjoy its nuance, acting and glimpse into sea fishing. I enjoyed it for those reasons. It's definitely a meandering film with some scenes not driving anywhere - they're there instead to develop characters.

This film is a character family drama with a small crime element. It's mis marketed in my opinion. Just watch it causally and enjoy the acting. And for the bad scenes that don't really work, just appreciate it for what it is. Good acting. 6.4/10.

All the people literally hating on that movie for reasons that are so out of place, blow my mind. I read on review where the someone said that there is "bad acting". Oh boy, i simply dont know if we watched the same movie. The Veterans TLJ and Ben Foster deliver a stellar Performance which is very much believable and honest. But the other guys also give it their all, delivering a variety of emotions and had me liking and rooting for them more than I should have. The Movie is like many before me said, a slow burner, which for some people could be demotivating to watch. They could have cut some parts out which would have given the Movie the right pace where it was needed. But even though its very slow, the director managed to create intensity and suspense. I liked it. I would recommend it. Maybe not to everybody I know, but certainly to people that like the Portrayal of human emotion. Rating: 7.1.

This movie is a boyz movie. It's about brotherhood, friendship, role models. The first half of the movie is about the process of belonging. Any guy who ever wanted, craved, hoped to belong to a gang of guys-who they deem tougher, wiser, stronger-will identify. Don't wait for explosions, don't wait for cheap thrills. Enjoy the process. Get dirty with the fishermen. That's what the movie captures very well. The second half is about nerves. That's when it becomes a thriller in more known territory. It's not a bad thriller, and you actually care for all characters. There are good actors, excellent cinematography and camera work. I liked the movie. Reviews and critics aren't doing justice to it.

This is a very good picture, one that has quickly become one of my favorite this year. It is not an action movie, far from it, and not a crime story either. It is all about human emotions, and how we deal with them. Don't make me wrong: it is quite slow in development (of the story), but grows and grows, and gradually grows on you. By the time it ends, you feel emotionally lifted. All the attributes of a good movie are there: the production value is first class, the acting is impeccable as so is the direction, with the editing and the score not far behind. If you liked 'Fathers and Daughters' (2015), this project is definitely for you.

This was a good movie. Fall River/New Bedford aren't the normal NE fishing towns. This flick dives in and shows us how people get sucked into "the suck" and love every moment of it. It was a good not particularly great movie. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Jenna did a nice job of encapsulating the areas culture. She was a good choice for a fisherman's gal and daughter of a broken house.

All in all it's worth a watch and a 7 rating. I'd wait till it's on Netflix or Prime though. I think 5.8 which it is currently at is a bit too low. What do you think?

Dear Hollywood, If you want to know how blue collar hardworking people act and talk, try doing some research and meeting some instead of guessing. You clearly have no clue. Pretty much sums up the film. A horrible story of what people "think" us poor working folk are like. Disgusting display of how Hollywood views society outside their bubble. There is no depth to these characters past stereotypical cliches. Most of people don't have rich parents that offer them options, like college, law school, and clerking, beyond this type of work. They do it because they have to, not to "find" themselves.

Some great actors and actresses, just a really bad script, disjointed story and unreal dialogue. The performers past work is why I gave more than one star. Most of these people are good, but in other things.

After the ship sank and they were joking and laughing while being rescued and then went straight to the bar to party, I knew the writers had no clue. Do the creators have any idea how bad it is for a captain and crew that lost their vessel? Let me just say they would not be joking and partying. Please...

Who would be so ridiculous as to commit a serious crime to pay a fine for a serious crime? Fishermen, it seems. The point here, though, is to show the romantic pull of a life of fishing and, perhaps more importantly, the inexhaustible love of a father for his son. Despite the critics, the dialogue and the acting was fine, especially by Clayne Crawford as the chief bad guy and Tommy Lee Jones as an old fisherman. It's got the Taylor Sheridan touch, too. Not a great film, but the scenes of the New Bedford harbor and the handling of a catch of scallops added to a story replete with plot holes and characters who should know better.

They had me at Ben Foster and Tommy Lee Jones. I'd watch either of them act out a bread recipe over anything Hollywood has put out the last 20 years.

Anyone else who has lived long enough to understand that statement will probably like this movie. Others, not so much.

I read somewhere this was a made for TV movie. I couldn't tell. The quality was big screen worthy.

Also, real fishermen may or may not find fault with the technicalities. (I was in the medical profession and find medical inconsistencies on film yank me out of the required suspension of disbelief easily so I avoid those types of movies.)I enjoyed the glimpse into the fishing lifestyle.

It was a decently strong story, good acting,good cinematography, and decent directing. Not as strong as the movie "The Perfect Storm" but still a very worthy watch.

P. S. BTW, for people dissing on the accents.....Ben Foster is from Massachusetts.

This was way better than I expected. Had the plot not gone a little off to the bend and become slightly contrived and hand waved, this would have easily been a 8 or 9. Absolutely adored the first half, absokutely golden. Well worth a watch at the very least. Better than most. Had it kept things a bit more centered it would have really been something great.

The earnestness, from the characters to the depiction of working class Boston, and even the romance felt well done and rare. The performances were all pretty solid too. Not stand out, but not a bad one in the bunch either. The family aspect of it really brought the performances together, for me.

I get making a mistake or two or even having a ton of bad luck, but seriously everyone in the movie are just morons. Hell, I saw the whole cast (literally a stacked roster) and I am dumbfounded by how they could say yes to such a weak script. Like pick a damn lane: coming of age? Blue collar drama? Drug trafficking? Connecting with a dying loved one? They have it all and barely get 10% of all of them developed. Finally, Jenna Ortega's character was reduced to just like a cheesy horror movie sex symbol (like the one in AvP). Like seriously, it's Jenna Ortega, no need to reduce her to a townie chick. And Toby Wallace has been given his worse role in his entire career. Like seriously, I get supporting a brother, but following him to do stupid decisions is not being supportive, you are probably doing more harm than good. I highly suggest against watching this movie.

I have been waiting for this movie for over a year. It was stuck in post-production for some time and was finally released a few days ago.

The truth is, I had high expectations for the story, especially from a writer/director of Helgeland's level.

I don't know what he originally had in mind, but he has put two films in one here. On the one hand, it's a family drama; on the other, it's a drug deal gone wrong that doesn't make a good transition and, on top of that, an almost unnecessary love story.

It has a somewhat OK third act, which has enough tension but raises many questions.

On the good side now. The cinematography is excellent, and the transitions between city and sea scenes work nicely. The cast is well chosen, and for the most part, the actors know where they need to be. And, of course, the two strongest cards of the film are Tommy Lee Jones and Ben Foster in the role of father and son.

Although it's a nearly three-decade-old project, it could have been executed way better, especially when the person working on it has such an impressive track record under his belt.

I give it a 6/10, mainly due to acting.

Quite a slowburning, bleak and depressive story, that is certainly not suited for the casual viewer who might be (wrongfully) expecting some sort of fun action thriller, which it is definitely not and was never meant to be either...

The good: Tommy Lee Jones steals the show with his stellar performance as the father of a son (Ben Foster) in dire money troubles. But as magnificent the performance of mister Tommy Lee Jones may be, actor Ben Foster just didnt cut it in the dramatic scenes, in which he (and all the other actors for that matter) failed to deliver true drama.

True drama needs credible acting performances from ALL the actors concerned. Now we have only Tommy Lee Jones performance to deliver true drama, but his role (however important) was of a supporting nature, which makes us viewers have to deal with other leading actors who fail to impress.

So, I just watched Finestkind and oh boy, do I have thoughts. Ive never seen a movie try to do so much with so little that wasn't also a CG fest. There are potentially two good movies in here, but tye mashing up of the family melo drama and the crime hiest thriller comes off as comical, insincere, and muddled. I was following the making of this for some time since I heard Jenna Ortega and Tommy Lee Jones were attached, little that I know this was 25 years in the making, cost the film crew thousands in lost equipment and injuries, and had several names attached to it. I do like the cinematography, the Whale footage was nice, but like, this isnt a documentary, it was supposed to be an engaging film about what happnes in the in-between when were born and when we die. This was directed by the guy who wrote Man on Fire (Which probably explains why Jenna was attached) and directed Mystic River! This had all the makings of a hit... what happend!? Ugh. Ill still buy the DVD for my collection, but I'm not watching this again.

Ps. The romantic subplot in this would give a Disney princess whiplash with how fast it happened.

I don't understand why this film seems to inspire such a strong love/hate reaction in so many people. Perhaps people expected some high-stakes crime film. I will agree that the plot blurbs on this movie are a bit misleading, as crime is only a part of this film. If you don't expect to be blown away then I think it makes the experience more enjoyable. It is a good, though perhaps dramatic portrayal of the North Atlantic fishing industry, and actually a refreshing watch in the face of so many bland Hollywood films that attempt to tackle similar issues. The acting was good, not perfect, but still very decent. My biggest complaint would be the writing. It felt like they tried to cram every genre trope into one two-hour package. It also has a predictable feel-good ending. Had some of the events been shaved off to allow for more realistic character growth then it would have been a much more moving story. In the end it's an admirable attempt at tackling serious issues that's held down by its own ambition.

I don't know here to begin. First, it was so slow. The music was ripped from a Hallmark TV movie and so on the nose of how you should feel. It was just too distracting. Tommy Lee was useless in this. The acting for the most part was terrible, but especially from Jenny Ortega.

And then the writing was just so bad. Like the "dad" coming into the bar in the beginning and caused a scene, which just would never happen.

The movie didn't know what it wanted to be. It was all over the place with too many ideas and not enough focus. 45 minutes into it and nothing has really happened, except the superfluous rushed relationship between Mabel and Charlie.

I just don't see why this was even made. What was the point of it? If you want to make a movie have something NEW to say., like a message, maybe just pure entertainment, but then it should be funny. This was nothing new. It reminded me of the Perfect Storm, kinda.

Everyone seemed unlikable and uninteresting. Over an hour into it and I'm bored to death!!

This movie was fantastic. It was like movies used to be: not trying to push a political agenda or social justice agenda. Just a good story, good acting and lots of feeling. All the actors were outstanding, but Ben Foster was award worthy. It's not surprising that Taylor Sheridan was a producer on this movie since everything he does is great. There are a few negative reviews on here, but I don't know what they watched. It was the best movie I have seen in the last few months. There seem to be some people that think the depiction of mass residents and the accents are off base.... I have news for them.... I know guys like this.... I've worked blue collar jobs with these types of guys. The depiction is spot on.

I'm from New Bedford. The accents were horrendous. We don't sound like that. It was like listening to SNL skit with Fallon and Dratch. No mention of Portuguese community (almost EVERYONE is Portuguese here), other than a cookout with linguica. No real storyline. Waste of Tim Daly's talent. Scenery was beautiful. I recognized every shot! Editing, acting, writing all bad, including TLJ. Painfully long. Insulting to the actual residents of the New Bedford area. Ortega was driving on the bike trail....yeah that's realistic. They had the potential to be amazing, and blew it. Fishing is indeed dangerous. The scenes at sea looked completely CGI. Skip this and watch reruns of Cheers and Wings if you want to see Massachusetts.

Always looking for a good Sunday movie. Found this on a Saturday, grandkid day, so the house is hectic and movies are hard to watch. So, we tried again on Sunday. Movie was pretty good. Being a huge Ben Foster and Tommy Lee Jones fan didn't hurt. There were a few sub-plots about brothers, love, fisherman, drug dealing, death, life, father-son, brother-brother, and evil Canada, but the movie still managed to be entertaining. Probably would have been better as a mini-series with so much going on, since sone things just seemed to "happen" and weren't well explained. All said I'd still recommend it.
