White Tide: The Legend of Culebra

Rule number one: take on an ordinary man and put him in an extraordinary situation. Give him a weakness, a dream and drive him into a corner so that he has no way out, other than across his own limits. And you have a great script. Theo Love did not have to write it because life did it for him. As a result, in White Tide, Rodney Hyden takes the fore among any characters that routinely appear in Hollywood action movies - as head of the family, a caring, naive entrepreneur from Florida who falls into debt during the 2008 economic crisis. If someone had shown him Bonnie and Clyde at that time he may have robbed a bank. Or, maybe not - because he is more parts dreamer than rebel of the small-town lifestyle. Rodney let himself be fooled by the vision of riches. There is a map, there is a legend, there is a black bag filled with two million dollars-worth of cocaine. Who wouldn't try to find it? Who, at least for a moment, wouldn't like to feel like Walter White from Breaking Bad?
