Where did my fingernails go?

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2000)

Apart from fiddling with history to make a good story, this movie rates quite highly with me. Action aplenty in a submarine movie with a twist. German submarines are taking a heavy toll on Allied freighters. The allies need a German Enigma code machine so that they can break the submarine stranglehold. They know where a stranded German sub is. Can they steal it before help arrives? Events turn sour on their mission and the tension is as thick as an idiot convention. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say that they are lucky that some of them can read German. No time for character development - the cast are too busy trying to survive.
Reality Check: One (just one) torpedo hits the nose of the German battleship and the whole ship blows up like the Death Star. Mmmmmm.
Overall, well done to all concerned. 7 out of 10.
