COMMENTARY: You be the judge on All is Lost
Marine industry veteran Michael Sciulla recently took in the latest nautically-themed motion picture, “All is Lost” starring Hollywood legend Robert Redford.
Like other veteran sailors, Sciulla took major issue with the realism of the film storyline about a solo sailor in distress far offshore.
“That the film has Redford offshore without an EPIRB is a complaint voiced by many. Of course, it would have been a very short film if all Redford had to do was activate his EPIRB and wait for a rescue,” Sciulla writes.
