The Sub Floated - The Picture Tanked

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2001)

Bogus, revisionist Hollywood potboiler about American sub crew attempting to steal Enigma Decoding machine from German stranded sub. Naturally, we're treated to subtle reasons why those Germans are a nasty lot, as they machine gun survivors off of sunken vessel. Very subtle. Obviously, no one on the Production crew ever heard of Blechly Park or the fact that the British actually retrieved the first one. Yup, nothing like filling up your chest with steam, and stealing thunder from your allies. This aside, it's a relatively weakly acted movie, with stereotypical one dimensional performances and tons o' special effects. See it if you're snowed in, other than that, leave this floating bilge pumper alone. Not recommended.
