History Be DamnedLet's Put on a Show

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2014)

Explosive Submarine Actioner has the Burden of Betraying History in the Name of Xenophobic Credentials surely Made for America's Non-Discriminating, Pop-Corn Buying Audiences. With that Heaviness Sinking the Film for Historians, Purists, and the Cranky, it Manages for the Non-Thinkers to have a Pretty Good Time in an Old Fashioned way at the Movies.
The Cast is Likable and the Look is Outstanding. The Booms use Every Dolby Decibel Available at the Turn of the Millennium and it Utilizes the Submarine Clichés with its Own bit of Brashness as if it has Never been done before.
Overall, if You are Able to Ignore History, that at Times gets in the Way of Hollywood and is Discarded for Sometimes Incomprehensible Reasons, then this can be an Exciting Entertainment. After Ten Minutes there isn't a Skirt in Sight, so to say this is a Man's Movie is Stating the Obvious.
It is and it Delivers to those Types a Reason to Pop a Beer and Pass the Pretzels. To Expect Anything More from this Cheating bit of Fluff will be a Disappointment at Best and Make You Frustratingly Furious at Worst.
