Worth watching

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2002)

As another commentator says, this film isn't "Das Boot", but it is still an involving enough story with enough drama to be worth watching. Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson are both good in their roles, as we would expect them to be, and the portrayal of other submariners seemed credible to me. Of course there is much underlying doubt about how close it all is to the way it actually happened, particularly as Hollywood isn't exactly noted for adherence to historical accuracy, but the basic facts aren't in dispute - scary stuff!
