Terrible.

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2004)

Can't think of single thing about this movie that I liked. Apparently we know they're speaking in Russian because they're speaking English with terribly fake Russian accents.
Kathryn Bigelow isn't known for choosing the best scripts, but this one is so predictable and tedious that only someone who has never seen a movie could conceivably enjoy it. Maybe every director feels they must make a self-indulgent movie about people trapped in an elevator, or a cargo ship container, and then make us watch it for 2 hours--but that doesn't mean that they should.
In sum, a stirring tribute to the men of the Russian Navy who frequently died due to shoddy workmanship and general incompetence, yet were still poised to blow the U.S. to kingdom come.
