at long last...

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2000)

At long last Hollywood finally took a look at a submarine and said "wait a minute, things are really cramped inside of a submarine." I realize that it is 1941 (in the movie) but it actually seemed to me that they just might have gotten it right or close enough for government work. I won't comment on the acting. The only name worth mentioning is the wolf. Harvey Keitel was actually a surprise. I didn't expect to see him in a movie where he doesn't play an a-hole or a bad guy or a bad guy being portrayed by Tarentino as a good guy. As for the other "big name star". Better than his work in Contact. I will say that. There might actually be an actor somewhere in that guy. Anyway the action was good, the explosions were loud. The water effects were believable in the Hollywood movie sense. All in all worth the price of a matinee ticket.
