Solid performances, but predictable submarine story.

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2002)

This is one of the better submarine movies, strong performances from Neeson and Ford helped raise the film and give it an extra few points on the score. The fact it is based on real events and real people give the film that extra edge in that you find yourself caring for the crew more.
Would recommend watching but don't expect thrills and spills, however if (like me) you like submarine movies and you want an accurate factual account of what it was like on a Russian nuclear sub in 1961, including how ordinary people react in extraordinary circumstances then this is the movie for you.
