The film was suppose to be set in Somalia, HOWEVER the coordinates on the radar showed it was Europe - Malta I think (where it was filmed)! If you are really interested, look at the coordinates of own ship and then cursor at about 8 seconds in - hilarious.
And since when did a radar ping? I mean maybe I am too young, but I thought that was sonar?
This was picked up from the trailer alone - Imagine the whole film!
When I watched Iron Man 3 I was spitting feathers! To find that a tanker was in a container port with gantry cranes?!

Anywho, I don't know if I'm going to be able to watch this without having a heart attack! Bloody soppy Americans...*grumble grumble*I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

Thats hollywood for you, accuracy and the use of professional experts just doesn't happen. It's what the director thinks people want to see. It'll be another film where people push popcorn into their faces for 2 hours straight and come out thinking ah, thats what a ship is.
Remember, Speed 2 ? Seabourne Legend anyone?
