Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World (2003) short review

Not only a great, exciting, adventurous story with engaging characters and relationships, but incredibly gritty, realistic, as darn near 100% historically accurate costumes, props, art direction, set design, etc.  All boys, though.  Pity!
