| A run of the mill “hero” movie. Easily compared to G.I. Jane or Men of Honor. Similar to, but not as rich or engaging as, An Officer and a Gentleman or Top Gun. All however follow the struggles of a military candidate from basic training to mature officer. Some are better than others as a result of script, acting or director. If you like, served in, or have a relative in the Coast Guard, you’ll probably like this one as well. | This could definitely be used by the Coast Guard as a recruiting tool. It’s the story of the training of the Coast Guard elite group of rescue swimmers and it gets your blood pumping. From their arrival at the training facility to their graduation, we are given a glimpse into the extensive and intensive training they are given. Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher as mentor and student respectively compliment each other.
