An aging United States Coast Guard rescue swimmer's team is killed in a horrific rescue mission. Just prior to this same mission his wife announces that she cannot take anymore. This leaves him an emotional wreck. His commander gives him a choice - quit or take a position as an instructor at the USCG training facility in Louisiana. Reluctantly he takes the position and moves into the school. Once there he immediately increases the 18 week curriculum that routinely fails half of the people that attend. He meets a young man with unlimited potential, but with some secret that seems to hold him back as a team player. Delving into young man's past, links are found that make him a psychic twin to the older man.

Good submitted by crazypockets on July 13, 2013, 12:47pm I didn't have high expectations for this, and I was surprised by how much it affected me. It was a real eye-opener to the great work the Coast Guard does. I think when you don't live near the ocean or aren't directly impacted by issues with boating, you don't realize just what they do. They do phenomenal work, and I think this movie really pointed that out.

Intense and funny submitted by Duckling on August 10, 2017, 2:03pm I enjoyed this movie a lot. And the story is great. You can see the emotions on all of the actors faces. There is loads of action scenes and also some funny lines that lighten the mood a little bit. It is a great movie and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes an action movie, anyone in general and also anyone interested in joining the Coast guard.

Like an extended recruitment ad for the coast guard submitted by mandevil on February 5, 2021, 5:20pm Ok, but not great
