Pegadinha:

Michael Ironside, who plays Bob Brown, the "Andrea Gail"'s owner, was apparently mistaken for the character he plays by one of the town locals.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: During the later storm sequences in the pilot house of the Andrea Gail (after the windows are broken out), notice that water droplets falling from overhead continue to fall vertically with the pull of gravity, thus revealing that the camera was tilted and the actors were leaning to heighten the appearance of rough seas.

Quotes:

Captain Billy Tyne: I always find the fish. Always!

Entertaining

I like films like this. The characters have depth and are interesting or likeable. The whole film has that gritty, gray look to it. There's no generic hero type and the bad guy is the storm. Peterson did a great job with this film. I believe it is his best directorial job. The movie is well cast and my only negative thing is that the great Christopher McDonald was hardly used at all (almost just a cameo). This is a great movie for DVD. Good effects, acting, and music. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it highly.
