A great and underrated Sub movie

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2003)

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best Submarine flicks to come along in a long time, certainly better than that piece of garbage U-571, which completely re-writes history to make it seem that Americans did something that the Brits actually did. How pathetic. Star Wars alumni Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford do a great job with their parts, just ignore Harrison struggling with the accent and you'll be mesmerized by him. Liam Neeson is also fantastic, as usual. The atmosphere is dark and claustrophobic, the sets incredibly realistic and there is no American happy ending here, people really die and they don't come back.
In the style of Crimson Tide and Hunt For Red October, K-19 is a superior submarine/cold war epic that I highly recommend to fans of the genre. HOWEVER, if you're not into that kind of thing, steer clear.
