Not only the protagonist is sharp, but the supporting actors are also lifelike. Such as the indecisive trainee Horen, Jack's reckless servant Chiric, the emotional poet Mo Wei, the straightforward sailor Hora, etc., all left a deep impression on people. Especially the 13-year-old child star Max Bennis plays the trainee. Compared with the adult actors, his fresh and lovely performance is like the resurrection of the protagonist in the original book.

Although the director completely presented the fierce naval battle of the European powers 200 years ago, the scene was spectacular and shocking, Russell Crowe vividly interpreted the heroic British warship captain. However, the film's plot rhythm lacks tension, the content is too long and dull, and it lacks the romance that female audiences like, and it is inevitable that it is not pleasing. ()
The film uses warships to symbolize people and history. It has gone through turbulent waves, thunderstorms, snowstorms, and droughts, and human nature has undergone profound fission under various conditions of despair, pain, and life and death. The story is tortuous, the plot is varied, and the imagination is full of crests and valleys, the pictures are magnificent, the war scenes are extremely tense, and the philosophical thinking shines in the cracks between humanity, passion and war. It expresses the childishness and cunning; weakness and strength; ideals and passions. In the adventure journey filled with gunpowder and gunfire, a miracle created by courage has changed from an incredible idea to a reality that is well-known in history. The perfect theme for passion.
