I was impressed...

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2003)

~SPOILERS~
When I first heard of this movie, I didn't think too much of it. However, my dad received it as a gift for christmas and the other day I watched it. I heard from the critics that it was okay, and some might have even claimed it was terrible. But come on, are they always right?
I thought this film was indeed a great movie. I like intense movies and this was extremely intense (to me). Now, I tend to get attatched to certain characters, which was a huge mistake in this case. I thought the actors Christian Carmago and James Ginty were adorable guys - and with my luck, they were the first two men to go into the radioactive area to repair the submarine. (A friend had talked about a part which someone's skin melts off... so I was afraid, but no one's skin does melt off.) The two come out with terrible blisters on their faces and they even vomit. I was horrified and devistated. But the saddest of all was that Peter Sarsgaard's character stayed in the room for 18 minutes and eventually, like the other six, dies days later. Just for the record, I have to say that he is an extremely handsome guy - even beautiful sometimes.
So, to sum it all up, I thought some Russian guys were cute and unfortunatley they met an premature end. However, it was a good yet sad movie.
Oh, I almost forgot! Liam Neeson is probably one of my favorite actors. He makes any movie enjoyable for me.
I guess I give this one a 9.2 out of 10. I liked it!
