Grim and melancholy, the latest from JC Chandor (Margin Call) focuses, with exhausting intensity, on a single man. (In the closing credits, he's listed only as "Our Man." He's played by Robert Redford—wrinkled, presumably, from both years and water.) When a yacht he's sailing hits a shipping container in the middle of the Indian Ocean, water rushes into his cabin with startling speed; everything that follows charts his attempts to stay alive. We're only given a few hints about who he is: he's rich (that's a nice boat); he's alone, in more ways than one; and when it comes to sailing, he's hardly an expert, though he seems to be, at least, competent. Whether competence will be enough, Redford's weary, determined face tells us, is profoundly doubtful. by Erik Henriksen
