It could have been good, should not have tried to mimic Das Boot

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2011)

I like this movie but still only a 6. Don't get me wrong, go and see it for sure, but be prepared to see a very typical American hero movie. They've stolen bits out of Das Boot (which is the best movie ever) and made it unrealistic. The Germans (and I am not one) were not action heroes but just as much as any person in a tin can underwater, scared if sh...t hit's the fan. Enigma, it wasn't the Americans that got the machine, so why lie in this movie? Such a waste of what could have been a good movie. You don't need to be perfect in getting reality right, but this is raping reality. The story line develops weak, unrealistic. Characters are weak. A good director and story writer could have made this into a hit if they would have left the hero bit out, if they would have developed their own bits instead of mimicking Das Boot at times. Do see it, it is a nice story, but keep an open mind, fake heroes, fake history.
