Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at adventure lovers and war-film fans. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Fans of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World or To Have and Have Not should feel right at home.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG: peril. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

Admiral Pellew interrupts Hornblower's wedding reception and tasks him to locate a British ship which has disappeared off the French coast, where Napoleon's troops are engaged in covert activities.
