Critic Reviews of "White Squall"
VarietyJuly 25, 2008The filmmakers take a rather facile, anachronistic "Oprah"-esque approach toward the boys' feelings about their families and the Skipper's role as a "tough love"-minded surrogate father.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006This particular landlubber felt like jelly for the rest of the day, notwithstanding the hokey courtroom showdown that closes the picture.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Despite great scenery, the distinctive visual ideas of Mr. Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) and the strong dramatic presence of Mr. Bridges, most of White Squall remains listless and tame.
Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001Typically, Bridges gives a deftly understated performance uncluttered by vanity or shallow pathos. No wonder he's not a star.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 13, 2001The 20 or so minutes we spend with the Albatross in the squall is high adventure, to be sure. Everything else is ballast.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000The heavy-handedness of these final scenes will probably ruin the movie for some people, while others will enjoy its earnestness and energy. Count me among the latter group.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsJune 27, 2016Though lavishly produced and based on a true story, it still fails to satisfy.
Fantastica DailyJanuary 23, 2006An old-fashioned, white-knuckle adventure with the excellent Bridges adding another great characterization to his increasingly impressive resume.
Town Talk (Alexandria, LA)March 04, 2005Bridges puts his shoulder to the wheel and impresses audiences.
MovieholeMarch 04, 2004An Excellent Picture. It doesn't get any better
KFOR Channel 4 NewsJune 19, 2003Stunning ocean visuals and a gut-wrenching storm sequence. An underrated and very good coming of age story.
Palo Alto WeeklyMay 14, 2003Dead Poets Society goes to the high seas in this overly ambitious tale of 13 young men aboard a floating prep school vessel. Their rite of passage is the core element in this all-spit and no-polish production.
