Okay, but why change the facts!!!!!!!

Rating: 6/10 (24 January 2001)

I've been looking forward to judging this film for quite a while now, not in anticipation in seeing how good the film might be, but just to see how much America like to take credit for something that The royal navy died to retrieve.
The story is about about a US (???) Submarine that picks up an S.O.S from a injured German U boat that happens to hold the key to the war at that time.....the enigma code (a type writer of some sort). They capture the enigma code and start to transfer prisoners over to the american sub when the American sub is hit and blows leaving a skeleton crew and the injured German sub. The rest of the film follows the crews survival in the water and there struggle to come up with an idea to contact home base for help!
I appologuise to anyone that may be offended by my comments, but i must also stress that my great grandfather served and died during the war while being a loyal recruit to the royal navy. I know its only a film....and i did enjoy its special effects and parts of its casting (Harvey Keitel and jack Noseworthy who stood out), but at the end of the day i wondered what it would be like if us british changed history for the sakes of filming distribution?
Another point, there are enough good British actors to take the place of any actor that starred in this film, Jude Law, Ben Chaplin and Christian Bale to name a few.
6/10 - the film as okay!
