This one really got under my skin, Garfield plays a decent man pulled into dodgy waters—literally and morally. Running a charter boat doesn’t pay the bills, so when people-smuggling comes knocking, temptation’s hard to resist. Add a femme female and the tension begins to simmer. You feel the weight of every bad decision. There’s a constant sense that tragedy’s just round the corner. Garfield nails the role—tough, soulful, and full of doubt. Who does moral grey areas like him now? A gritty, underrated gem from Michael Curtis, who also gave us Casablanca. This one cuts deeper.
