Missed Opportunity

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2015)

Long after Harrison Ford was Han Solo, he was Captain Alexi Vostrikov, and long before Liam Neeson was Brian Mills, Qui Gon Jin or Oskar Shindler, he was Captain Mikhail Potenin in "K-19: Widowmaker"
For sown unknown reason I don't like submarine movies, I just find them slow moving and dull (That includes "The Hunt For Red October") "U571" is the only exception. Ford and Neeson are always watchable though, so I decided to give it a go when it was starting on TV tonight.
Plot In A Paragraph: It's the height of the 1960's Cold War, and Russia launches the K-19, a flagship nuclear submarine. Aboard this submarine are Captain Alexei Vostrikov (Harrison Ford) and executive officer Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson) who is popular amongst the crew. Tension run high between the two, as they clash on regularly occasions . When the vessel's nuclear reactor system begins to leak, the two men and their crew must become brave countrymen to avoid a disaster.
It was what I expected it to be (OK I didn't expect either of them to go with dodgy accents) a slow moving tension filled movie on a sub. Though it was a refreshing change to see a movie where Americans were not the brave heroes. The ending didn't fill me with the anger it should have (which was a shame) and I'll probably never watch it again, as whilst Ford and Neeson are as watchable as always, but these are not two of their finest hours.
