While there, he encounters a young, cocky swim champ, Jake Fischer, who is driven to be the best. During training, Randall helps mold Jake's character, combining his raw talent with the heart and dedication required of a Rescue Swimmer. Upon graduation, Jake follows Randall to Kodiak, Alaska, where they face the inherent dangers of the Bering Sea. In his initial solo rescue, Jake learns firsthand from Randall, the true meaning of heroism and sacrifice, echoing the Swimmer's motto...'So Others May Live!'

    Costner and Kutcher have a great dynamic, and the action doesn't overshadow the story. It is somewhat formulaic, but a nice Coast Guard piece regardless.

    When David sublets his quaint San Francisco apartment, the last thing he expects--or wants--is a roommate. He begins to make a complete mess of the place when a pretty young woman, named Elizabeth, suddenly shows up, adamantly insisting the apartment is hers. David assumes that there's been a giant misunderstanding, until Elizabeth disappears just as mysteriously as she had appeared. Changing the locks does nothing to deter Elizabeth, who begins to appear and disappear at will--mostly to rebuke David for his personal living habits in her apartment. Convinced that she is a ghost, David tries to help Elizabeth cross over to the "other side." But while Elizabeth has discovered she does have a distinctly ethereal quality--she can walk through walls--she is equally convinced that she is somehow still alive and isn't crossing over anywhere. As Elizabeth and David search for the truth about who Elizabeth is and how she came to be in her present state, their relationship deepens into love. Unfortunately, they have very little time before their prospects for a future together permanently fade away.

    A somewhat realistic swimming movie! Really nice rescue scenes and some great situations. Some less than necessary material.

    Is it weird if I'm only 20 and I think Kevin Costner is fifty times hotter than Ashton Kutcher? Hmmm...

    This movie was great, and Costner's performance rocked as usual.

    This movie was a little predictable, but the actors didn't let that ruin their skills. Costner gave an awesome performance,(as usual), perfecting the mood and setting, while Kutcher gave us the ambition and strength. Combining all of those it was a very passionate and powerful look into the sacrafice of the Coast Guard. I totally reccomend it!

    Loved this movie, the cast is great. the whole story is brilliant. It made me cry near the ending. Kevin Costner as usual has a great impact on the show and the emotions. Ashton Kutcher gave a great performance also.

    The endind song; Bryan Adams - Never Let Go is one of my favourite songs, I'm glad he sung it. It also relates to the movie so well.
    "I'll never let go" - (Kutcher)
    "I know" - (Costner)..

    I think anyone at any age will enjoy this movie. The critics are wrong and anyone who knocks this movie is wrong. It really portrays a life of a coast guard and the dangers that they go through. I love the motto of them as well. Nope, it was a great movie. I have not been 'wow'ed' by kevin costner but he did very well in this one. I liked the training of the crew, the flights, the water scenes...everything.
