Edge of the seat film.

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2002)

I do not recall when I have seen a film that has gripped me more intensely. This film had me hooked from the moment it started. The drama and tension in the film are almost mind-numbing. The oppresive sense of reality almost makes Das Boot look like Grey Lady Down (A sub film so bad it was almost comic).
Both Liam Neeson and Harrsion Ford should get nominated for Oscars.
Insofar as I can tell, the film was stunningly accurate in its depiction of submarine operations and grippingly realistic in its depiction of humans under intense danger while struggling with conflicting emotions and duties.

You simply must go see this film, but it is definitely too intense for children. There is no sex and no swearing but the pure raw intensity of emotion and the overall tone will either bore or frighten most young kids.
Heartily reccomended to anyone who likes submarine drama or just a rousing film that truly shows human emotions and people in crisis.
