The Coast Guard gets its chance for a heroic movie tribute, but The Guardian does it no justice, borrowing cliche after cliche from other (and better) military branch movies. Read critic reviews

-
There is nothing special and falls into the common and predictable, but it is entertaining, a little touching, with an ending that redeems the whole movie
-
Although very similar to An Officer and a Gentleman the subject matter and performances make it entertaining enough.
-
Highly entertaining. Watching the development of the two main characters is unique and the rescue scenes are intense. Just a little too long.
-
I actually liked this movie a lot, I didnt think it was this good.
