Great Film

Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) is a renowned fighting captain in the British Navy. But when his ship, the Surprise, is suddenly attacked by a superior enemy, Aubrey is torn between duty and friendship as he pursues a high-stakes chase across two oceans to intercept and capture his foe. With a badly damaged ship and an injured crew, this mission can save his reputation, or destroy them all. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture!

I got out and saw Black Widow in between surges. I think that was the first in a year.

I think the producers missed a huge opportunity by passing up on filming one or more sequels. It would have made for an incredible film series.
