"Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World" is a fine movie starring Russel Crowe and Paul Bettany. Directed by Peter Weir the movie's premise is an English Man o' War's hunt for a French commerce raider upon the high seas, a high stakes cat and mouse game with high stakes as it were. Set in the Napoleonic era, and tho the film is based on a series of novels, the director has gone to great lengths to recreate accurately conditons on English naval ships of that time (hint: life as a limey was not an easy one). Smartly written and well thought out action thruout, the boarding party sequence alone makes the film worth seeing twice! It's a film well worth worth the watch.
