"K-19" excellent film making,exciting adventure

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2002)

K-19 presents not only what is seemingly the most realistic
portrayal of life in a submarine (even exceeding U-571) it
manages to portray the Soviets as actual human beings, and
does not alter them to adjust to stereotypes. We see the lack of resources the Soviets suffered from, the lack of
proper funding, the push of the government to always proceed
even when the projects were at immature states. The events are also factual and well done, and both main
characters manage to hold their Russian accents very well. Overall, a very good film. Not a bombardment of special effects or
explosions, but still a well paced adventure and slight thriller at
times. Rating: 8/10
