Streamlined and simplified as they are, the film’s two adult leads have clear agency and film-driving personality. This of all stories hardly needs a white savior figure, but Quaid’s flinty dynamic with Gonzales lends some texture to this soft, sentimental tale. He’s honey to the vinegar of Dennis Quaid, cast in the largely devised role of the crusty gringo fishing captain who shows the team the ropes and reels. As Venegas, Gonzales is sufficiently terrific to make you wish the character had been written as the fully dimensional human he presumably is, rather than as a terrestrial saint in cargo shorts: Venegas’ through-and-through goodness is apparent enough without the repeated moral pep talks the script keeps handing him for backup, though Gonzales delivers them with genuinely heroic conviction.

That “Blue Miracle” succeeds to the extent it does is in large part thanks to star Jimmy Gonzales, hitherto best known for TV roles in “Lodge 49” and “Mayans M.C.,” here proving himself a leading man of quiet, sturdy integrity.
