The dilemma he faced on the boat was fascinating, and his calm and logical response to the situation was admirable and courageous...but he could have brought more complexity to the role and better showed the fear and anxiety anyone would experience in such a dire situation. I remember thinking when I watched it that they should have had two people on the boat.

(Not on Tumblr/don't want another social network) - but I really enjoyed it.

Not so fun fact - he sustained permanent hearing loss in one ear due to doing his own stunt work.

You gotta hand it to Sundance - he always goes big!
