Reviews

Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
Nearly a perfect film, from its bold and epic man-vs.-nature conflict to the breathless scripting, editing, acting, and direction.
75
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Dive right in if you're looking for an old-fashioned entertainment that delivers corny romance, turbulent action, and enough wave-churning seascapes to make "Titanic" seem landlocked.
75
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
The problem with The Perfect Storm is that while its roiling collision of weather systems is pulled off with cinematic deftness, the actors who stand there getting lashed and splashed don't have anything terribly interesting to say.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Edward Guthmann
Does about as good a job of simulating that terror as it possibly could, but it's no competition for what we create in our mind's eye while reading.

Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Unabashedly designed to blow its audience away.
