Though there’s very little here that is actually ‘untold’ (given the endless supply of Titanic books, documentaries, feature films, and all the rest), there’s still a decent story at work in this so-so film. The serviceable script, which is mostly drawn from recorded testimony, follows Senator William Alden Smith’s committee hearings in the wake of the disaster, and though the film can’t ever really shake the feel of a low-level, cobbled-together B-movie (which, let’s be honest, it is), there’s a sense of authenticity that helps keep it… well – afloat.
3/5 stars
