I just saw this pretty recent film off Amazon Prime, and half-way through I'm thinking it's probably loosely based on the same story featured in the recent movie, "Unbroken". After doing some research, however, I found out that the two are completely unrelated, which I'm like- TWO different true stories of three soldiers stranded on a raft in the middle of the ocean in WWII-???
Garrett Dillahunt ("Raising Hope") plays the leader of these three, and I think one of the other guys was from the "Harry Potter" movies. No matter- I'll give this movie a borderline recommendation since you do find yourself concerned about these three characters as they try to survive. I also liked Dillahunt's performance, especially *possible SPOILER* since his character ultimately blames himself for the whole thing- even suggests he should be court martialed.
And if you've already seen the recent Angelina Jolie-directed "Unbroken", which is basically done in three acts- 1) story of an Olympian, 2) survival story of soldiers stranded on raft in ocean, 3) POW camp story- THIS movie is basically Act II of that film. So if you have seen "Unbroken" already, you've basically seen this one, and may just want to skip it..
