Maximum depth reached (and exceeded).

Rating: 3/10 (6 September 2004)

Honestly, this is BY FAR the most stupid U-boat movie I have ever seen and just a further example for a really sick attitude of making movies. Historical facts ('Enigma' was captured on board U-110 by a boarding crew from the British destroyer HMS Bulldog) or technical aspects (e.g. only Hollywood's heroes are able to hit an enemy sub that is showing it's smallest silhouette with a non-guided torpedo, even without any aiming!!!)  whatever it may be: it becomes twisted until the good ones win. There is an endless list of ridiculous behavior of the characters (stripping them of any personality at all), technical stupidities or other moments of amazing idiocy. So what is left is some kind of aseptic fiction picture with a quite predictable story. O.k., if you like that  have fun. Apart from that I found at least TWO nice things to this movie:
(1) the idea with the faked U-boat seems at least uncommon and quite interesting to me and (2) the view at the boat from below while evading exploding depth charges above is a really nice shot (if you forget about the fact, that you surely could see nothing at all in this depth by normal means).
Er, well ... that's all about the positive points.
