K-19 The Widowmaker

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2004)

Finally a movie about a country saving the future of the world and it was not the United States. With what is happening in the world today this is easy to understand and no wonder this movie did not do well in the United States. A group of young Soviet Officers and Sailors charged with the task of the un-thinkable. K-19 is a film in Soviet times of strength,honour and commitment to the Motherland. A time of doing one's duty engulfed by the impending invisible death. Of Officers driven by the past into the hopes of the future. K-19 is a lesson to us all President Kennedy once said, " Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air We all cherish our children's future And we are all mortal."
