With a history of great sub movies, finally they slipped.

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2002)

Saw K-19 opening night to a packed house. With much anticipation due to the history of fantastic submarine movies (such as Das Boot, Red October, Crimson Tide, U-571) my expectations were high. Unfortunately the story was non-existant. The plot was very thin, and the characters were extremely underdeveloped leaving me not caring if they live or die, any of them. There is no real threat or antagonist in this film which they really needed. Hey, it's the cold war and they can't even get into one entanglement with the American's, or any ememy.
