A mixed experience

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2002)

I went to the cinema this evening to watch K-19: The Widowmaker, and I had mixed expectations.
The reviews were mixed here in Denmark, but I was willing to give it a shot, I always look forward to watch a Harrison Ford movie.
One of the things I have read about was the Russian accent, and I just think you should ignore this. Americans can't talk like Russians, and that is just something you have to accept as a watcher.
K-19 was a slow starter movie, and I thought it would be a disappointment after the first half, which was too long with not much happening. In the second half problems occurred and the movie developed in a positive direction. I can't say much because it would spoil the movie for you.
The performances by the actors were good, and the movie was also well directed. You felt inside the sub when watching the movie, and that was the whole idea. K-19: The Widowmaker is an average movie because of it's length, I would rate it 6/10.
