Submarine. Harrison Ford. Bigelow

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2018)

The Widowmaker (2002): K-19: The Widowmaker is a war movie without a war, or at least without a hot war. Like Crimson Tide the film uses the backdrop of a potential nuclear holocaust to generate a powerful sense of escalating tension. And that's not the only common ground. As with Crimson Tide, the majority of the movie takes place in the belly of a submarine with the threat of mutiny in the air, and, as with Thirteen Days, the events depicted herein are based on a nearly catastrophic incident from the 1960s. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Harrison Ford this is one taut film.
