K-19 the has been maker

Rating: 4/10 (9 April 2005)

I like submarine movies. It involves putting a group of people in a small enclosed, but complicated place. Everything that surrounds them is their enemy, even the water, which is also their best friend, can kill them.
So here we have the true story of the K-19, Russia's first nuclear submarine and their first nuclear submarine disaster. Before even leaving port it has been nicknamed the "widowmaker".
While it is probably a realistic portrayal of what happened to the K-19, the problem is that the writers should have put aside the facts to get to the truth and tried to create a story.
The result is finely acted but basically uninteresting. What I liked the most about this movie was that it portrayed the Russians accurately, both as heroes and villains of this story.
