Could've been better.

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2002)

K-19: The Widowmaker is based on the happenings aboard the first Russian Nuclear Submarine. The beginning is slow, with Harrison Ford demanding drills aboard and changing things to meet the schedule rather than safety the requirements, foreshadowing sure disaster. Once going, however, K-19 delivers an intense ride through the life of an early nuclear submariner as well as the boat in which this submariner is aboard. But, with the slow beginning and a not so good Russian accent by Liam Neeson, I considered giving it a 6, reconsidered and gave it a 7. I'd wait for the cheap theaters.
