Prequel to the 2003 film "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" that adapts the first book in the Aubrey–Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian released in 1969 and titled "Master and Commander": Jack Aubrey is elated to be given his first appointment as commander: the fourteen-gun ship HMS Sophie. Aubrey and a brilliant but down-on-his-luck physician, Stephen Maturin, strike up an unlikely rapport. He invites Maturin to join his crew as the Sophie’s surgeon.

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
