Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
It's a pity this oceangoing adventure wasn't fully appreciated during its theatrical release in 1996, if only because its climactic storm sequence (hence the movie's title) was awesome on the big screen and inevitably less impressive on video. Mixed reviews also curtailed its box-office potential, but as you might expect from Ridley Scott--the director of Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise--this is a beautifully photographed movie that will thrill anyone who is drawn to the romance and danger of the open sea. The story is a rite-of-passage adventure for a group of high school boys who spend their senior year as the crew-in-training on the Albatross, a sailing vessel skippered by an experienced sailor and schoolmaster (Jeff Bridges) who teaches hard lessons of teamwork and individual responsibility. As they sail to the tip of South America and back, the young men face many challenges that will shape their character, in addition to the carnal pleasures of shore leave in exotic ports of call. It's a traditional story, and Scott doesn't bring anything particularly new to this sailboat variation of Dead Poets Society and Scent of a Woman. But as a coming-of-age drama White Squall is professionally crafted and filled with vital energy, featuring a talented cast of newcomers (led by Scott Wolf of TV's Party of Five) who rise to the demands of this rousing and life-changing adventure. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars A great movie.......2007-02-24

White Squall is a wonderful, warm movie. It takes place on the sea, in the 1960's, but it is not just about being asea. It is about a group of young teens who learn quickly what is needed to grow up. Very tastefully done. My husband shows it to his high school ROTC cadets as well

3 out of 5 stars White Squall.......2007-01-25

Lots of character development - action.
Story was very cool but we are sailors, so any sailing movie is great.
Jeff Bridges was OK as captain, but they could have chosen a better lead.

4 out of 5 stars White Squale.......2007-01-04

Was an ok movie. I really wouldn't go to the movies to see it though.

5 out of 5 stars Great movie.......2006-11-10

Great Movie....... I really like plot and I was pleased when I found it on DVD as my VHS gave up the ghost a long time ago. One of Jeff Bridges best performances.

4 out of 5 stars Why does no one talk about this movie!?.......2006-05-30

I don't get it! How can there be so many Ridley Scott movies that go unnoticed? Other mainstream directors like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg have basically recognition for every movie they've made, but with movies like White Squall, there is a forgotten element to what Ridley Scott has done with his career. White Squall is a gem of a movie that has gone unnoticed for too long. Jeff Bridges is excellent as are the rest of the actors. This is a story that will pull you in and is addictive. It's like a book you can't put down. The style of the movie is a little removed from Scott's more modern works, but it's definately him behind the camera. Enjoy this movie, no matter who you are.
