Who are we supposed to be rooting for here?

Orca and his family were the victims here, and his actions are similar to Paul Kersey's from
Death Wish
I & II!
Underrated film is effective and surprisingly melancholy; great score by Ennio Morricone. -

Nolan was also a victim. He had guilt over not doing anything to the drunk driver that killed his wife and son and wrongly thought the orca's actions showed more love for its family than he did for his. His wrong attitude made him a victim. I felt sorry for him.

Oh, come on! The whale, of course, because nature wins out over man. Also, Charlotte Rampling is wandering around the Arctic in designer clothes not appropriate for below zero temperatures and you don't think that's cheesy? That's what makes this movie so much fun!

I started out rooting for the whale, but he turned into an a$$hole too, so nobody to root for in this film.
the whale spends his life trying to get revenge against the evil man, but in the process the whale becomes the very monster it's trying to destroy.
Very well put. I lost all sympathy for the orca when he bit Annie's leg off. -

Not sure who we are supposed to be rooting for here. But I will say one thing. The Orca seems to know his way around a glacier. Somehow I think that if it comes to an Ice Bucket Challenge, the Orca will emerge the winner!

The bad guy is whoever wrote the script.
The good guys were the actors who managed to speak some of the silliest dialogue lines without breaking into laugh.
Still a fun movie to watch. It was my favorite movie when it came out, but of course, I was very young at the time.
