	White Squall On-Line Review
		White Squall is based upon the true story of the Albatross, a sea-going school for young men which suffered a catastrophic wreck when hit by the “white squall” of the title — the mother of all storm waves — a disaster which cost six lives, including that of the wife of the ship’s skipper.
		Aside from the gripping true story, the "white squall" of the title is thedefinitive cinematic shipwreck of all time, and James Cameron (already known for topping Scott's Alienwith Aliens) is going to have his hands full trying to get his upcoming zillion-dollar Titanic shipwreck to surpass Scott's white squall sequence.
		White Squall's principal weakness is its ending, in which a board of review investigates the fatal disaster and Sheldon's possible responsibility for it; not without cause has this part been called "Dead Sailor's Society." One advantage of home video is that it is possible to fast forward through the anti-climactic parts of the ending.

	DVD Review: White Squall
		"White Squall" may have introduced audiences to a lot of young actors who have gone on to other films; this movie in particular is moderately entertaining, but not as good as it probably could be.
		Certainly, the squall sequence (chapter 17) is an audio workout, with waves smashing from all sides, and impressive surround use as the ship begins to fall apart under the beating of the water and wind.
		Final Thoughts: "White Squall" is a decent although not terribly remarkable film; the DVD has its pleasures, although the extras section is not one of them.

		However, on the return leg, the Albatross is caught in a freak of nature - a white squall - which changes their lives forever...
		Visually though, as is usual with Ridley Scott, White Squall is exquisite and the cinematography is such that the action is fragmented with long, lusty shots of the schooner rising and falling on gigantic waves, or with stunning pictures of the sun disappearing behind distant islands on the horizon.
		This said, I found White Squall to be more frustrating than anything, with the squall sequence the highlight of a film which could have been so much better.

	White Squall - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		It is intimated near the end of Ridley Scott's "White Squall" that the title storm condition may be a myth, and if we weren't told otherwise, we might regard the entire adventure in the same light.
		That the real Christopher Sheldon served as an advisor on "White Squall" provides a clue to the view the film holds of him, and Jeff Bridges' comment that he took his inspiration from Mike Nelson, the character his father played on the TV series "Sea Hunt," provides another.
		Few directors have a better eye for dramatic composition than Scott, and the squall sequence, with a white wall of wind battering the Albatross and its crew, is both terrifying and weirdly exhilarating.

		The visuals throughout the movie are exhilarating, and the squall scene in particular is pulled off spectacularly (if a bit chaotically).
