didn't quite work

Rating: 7/10 (13 May 2000)

I love WWII tales. I love action. I love suspense. But this movie didn't quite work for me. I didn't care about the characters enough. I stopped accepting the long string of near-disasters-narrowly-avoided about five minutes before the end of the film. Thin gruel compared to the director's cut of Das Boot. 7 out of 10.
