I watched this move at private screening in Chelsea NYC, I was disappointed not bc it was a bad film, because there is great film there it's just didn't run the way I thought it personally should. Firstly I don't understand the first 40 minute focus on the friendship, the first 10 mins made this clear to the audience, the relationship between Daniel and Matthew then suffered from being underdeveloped. The main focus of the movie is this relationship, should have gave it it's due attention. Then the key supporting characters such as the skipper, I'm assuming from his scene was the alpha male in the group, we're left sitting like lame ducks in the end, no opinion and no input to the story. They should have been the first to criticize and react to it, they didn't do that which gave there characters no purpose and left the leads with no redemption. I truly hope that this film sees the screen, it's a topic that needs to see the light of day, an issue that needs to be addressed. Beautifully shot, the intrepid never looked better, and some sterling performances, especially the leads. Deserves to be seen
