Enjoyable, but too little for a submarine movie!

Rating: 6/10 (18 August 2000)

At least the Germans speak German in this one. The reality seemed well depicted, but somehow, I felt an anti-climax when it was over. Perhaps Crimson Tide and Hunt for Red October raised the standards for tension in submarine movies too high! The maturation of the Executive Officer into a submarine captain was a bit too predictable. I did enjoy it but when it was over, I thought "is that all?" - just how I felt at the ending of the Truman Show.
