You read that right, the movie offers little to no backstory on the main characters, except for a few scarce scenes where mere crumbs of past events are alluded to, and even in those scenes it felt less like exposition and more akin to a genuine conversation those characters would have.

Looking at the poster with the ship, raging sea and Russell Crowe one might not guess that this is a film about comradely, friendship and duty...all set aboard a British sailing ship the H.M.S.

I think that there was a (failed) attempt to transfer what was happening on the screen to affect the viewer. The storm was a good example of this, instead of feeling cold and “weathered”, I felt annoyed...
