This one is kind of mixed, but one of the few performances the critic really praises is Mark Wahlberg's (and she calls him one of today's most underrated actors).

A big one, from the New York Times -- again, mixed, but with very very high praise for Mark Wahlberg's performance.

Thanks very much, Cathy, for posting that URL. That review captured exactly how I feel about TPS. It opened in Australia yesterday, and I wasn't going to wait a minute longer to see it. Essentially, I thought Mark was outstanding--in such a natural, understated way--as were Clooney and Lane. I was bothered by some of the Andrea Gail footage, (agree with the Salon reviewer about how Junger handled it with such respect, and how it almost felt like a violation of privacy, but at the same time it was a measure of my sympathy for the crew that I just couldn't bear to see some of the footage) and thought the soundtrack was just horrendous. But everyone on the cinema was dragged in, and at the end were very quiet.

Loved it, will see it again,
Gabrielle
